---|---|---|---|---|
Lakeview Lightning, Beats Of War and Mr Talentino can set up a solid gallop. TRUE PLAYER (1) gets the tongue tie on for the first time today following a disappointing run in tricky conditions at Bunbury most recently. Up in trip now is a big tick with Pike remaining in the saddle. He's come through good form races all campaign and now looks poised to strike fourth-up. MR TALENTINO (9) stuck on well as the race favourite in easier company at this track last start but can go to another level now as he reaches peak fitness. The draw should see him in a handy position for O'Donnell and he's expected to put his best foot forward. SIROTA (11) was too good on the Fibre Sand at Bunbury last start when sitting on the pace and running away to win comfortably. That figure stacks up in this field and a repeat effort would see him right in the finish again. MANZOR MAGIC (3) won't be far away as he hits peak fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: True Player gets the nod.
