Heaven Bound and Professor Pickles to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. HEAVEN BOUND (12) sharp drop in class when getting off the mark at start nine for a tough long neck victory over 1890m at Newcastle on April 24. Ready for this trip now and no reason she cannot win again. VADAMOS QUEEN (2) handy mare who will appreciate the drop in grade today. Battled right to the line when a narrow second over 2000m at Kembla Grange on April 27. Carries the big weights well and no excuses. PROFESSOR PICKLES (8) won two-in-a-row before jumping sharply in grade when a wilting sixth over 1800m at Randwick Kensington in BM78 company on April 25. This much easier and can bounce to form today. Go close. PIPISTRELLE (10) improving filly who steps out to this trip for the first time here. Strong through the line when third over 1500m at Kembla Grange on April 20. Looks to have genuine each way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,2,8,10.
