Strong tempo assured from Smashing Action and In Love leading the charge. IN LOVE (3) showed sharp improvement when resuming, sticking on well into a narrow fourth at Oakbank. Fitter second-up and drawn to get every chance. Hard to beat. GINGER SINNER (1) impressed breaking maiden ranks at Balaklava and can go on with it. Must be respected again. MURPH (2) also stepped up last start when breaking through over this track and trip. Progressive type who can measure up despite the tougher assignment. SMASHING ACTION (9) showed speed last time and boxed on well. Should give another honest sight. PRANCETHRULIFE (5) will drift straight back from the draw and be saved for the final crack at them. With the anticipated speed, this sets up well for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with In Love.
