---|---|---|---|---|
Satness to take charge ahead of Let's Go Bro at a good tempo. SOVEREIGN EXPRESS (3) comes to hand fairly quickly and solid return when he came from near last on the turn to finish a close fifth over this trip at Warwick Farm in BM72 grade on June 5. Can race closer from the inside gate and return to winning form. UNDIVIDED (6) back for his second prep and third-up today. Failed to finish the race off with the 60.5kg when a plugging fifth over 1200m at Kembla Grange on May 28. Racing like the trip will suit and looks good each-way value. BEND THE KNEE (4) win record hardly excites but fitter now after two runs back. Stuck on well late when seventh over 1200m at Wyong on June 6. Nicely placed to turn things around on the firmer track. LADY DEVINE (8) resumes from a ten-week break and has a sound fresh record. Lone win came at this track and since fitted with a recent trial over 740m at Warwick Farm. Look for her charging late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sovereign Express to win.
