Adki and Tundra possess good early speed. There wouldn't be many more horses at this meeting more deserving of a win than ADKI (12), who's had six starts this time in for three seconds, a couple of thirds and a fourth. She's back to 0-56 grade here, which will help and the nice draw of five should ensure she doesn't have to do too much work to find the top. ALL THE WAY BABY (6) strikes a nice race to resume in and if she runs up to any of her runs last prep, bar the last one when she had probably had enough, she'll give a sight. Has a good fresh record and was a recent Hamilton jumpout winner. PROPHET'S CHOICE (11) showed good improvement third-up and the fact she backs up here an be considered a positive. WILD IRISH ROVER (3) did little first up but has been around the mark the past two and can feature again. TUNDRA (9) is up in grade on last prep but is in a new stable and has been placed at three of five first-up runs, including a victory. SUGGESTED PLAY: Adki each way.
