Genuine pace with Forseti crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. LOOSE 'N' VEGAS (7) ran her best race fresh up last prep, and probably lacked some strength in 2 more starts after that. She resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good, and she is the one to beat fresh up for us. IFYOUSTARTMEUP (1) has been thereabouts in all 4 starts this prep, and his last 3 runs have been from very wide draws. With any luck from another tough gate, he can take this out. TINUVIEL (10) has the best exposed form of any in this, and she has more upside than most of her rivals. She gets her best draw in a while, and she will be hard to hold out. LEONARD (2) is still a touch weak, and with some space between runs this time, he can bounce straight back into the money, even from a wide draw. GOTA HUNCH (4) has been improving as he builds his fitness, and he will be spot on for this assignment, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he is well worth each-way consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loose 'N' Vegas can win, and Tinuviel can make the quinella.
