Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated.
BANKNOTE HUSTLER (2) is back from a five-month spell. Raced twice in the maiden campaign and was easily accounted for in black-type races. Now a gelding and trialling in good style. This looks a perfect pipe opener. BLINKED (11) has raced near the speed but just failed to finish things off in her two starts this prep, both over today's trip on the Kensington track. Back in grade today and should give a great sight. TRIPLE TRIPLE (14) ran a cheeky race at cricket score odds over this distance at Gosford two back then failed over 1000m subsequently. Worth another chance back up to this trip. ALREADY BLUE (13) battled on okay without threatening last time. Failed two back on a heavy which is a worry. Exotics only. MISS FLEETWOOD (8) resumes. Will find this easier than the Lonhro Plate which was her only appearance to date back in January. Trialling well - keep an eye on the betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Banknote Hustler looks ready to fire.
