Hot tempo expected with Blackberry Breeze, Hollandia Bakkerij and Global Drumbeat heading the charge. SABRAGE (4) led throughout for an effortless win two back then came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 1600m at this track. Should run very well again. HOODWINKED (5) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a nose away in second last time over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. BLACKBERRY BREEZE (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1600m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. SIXTYZERO (9) was not far away last time out, finishing fifth over 1600m at this track. Looks suited first time at this trip and is not to be underestimated.
