Bring Me To Life should find the front with Boovey and Asambe on his heels.
BRING ME TO LIFE (1) has been below his best in his last couple of starts and is back to a level that saw him win at Innisfail in early March. He benefits from a 3kg claim and only has to have his mind on the job, to bounce back into the money here. THREEBROTHERS (4) will be peaking his fitness fourth up and finds himself in a very modest field this time. He has a good draw, and as long as the track is not too wet, he can figure in the top 3. BOOVEY (7) is resuming from a spell and normally needs a run before hitting his straps. This field is not strong, and he is just the type of horse that can show up when least expected. MAKANUI (5) is better than his last couple of starts suggest, and with a senior hoop replacing an apprentice, he is worth including in all combinations. ASAMBE (3) has yet to fire in a couple of starts since recording an 8-length maiden win at Innisfail in early March. He can do better, so stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Asambe each way.
