|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong gallop with Enterprise Lassie and Colleano taking up the running over Lupine. The well-related ROCK HARD LOVE (4) (full to G3 winner Parry Sound) has hit a purple patch of form of late with two wins and two seconds from his past five outings and is yet to miss a quinella spot in two spins around this circuit. Gets the services of Maloney in the irons to navigate from the sticky alley and rates a top winning chance. EL PENSADOR (7) is a last-start winner who should appreciate the 1815m trip here. He'll be suited by the sting out of the ground and if he can run up to his latest figures, he'll go close to winning again. LARUSSO (11) looks to have plenty of upside and must be respected from the Bruce camp. Top-three aspirations. LUPINE (15) next in line on the minimum weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rock Hard Love to continue the rich vein of form.
