Good pace from Adviser, Koondeeman and Chicken Legs. MASTER GEE (7) doesn’t win out of turn but finds the right set-up here. Forget the latest run, this is easier and he’s proven more than capable on his day. Expect him to hunt across from the wide alley to give himself every chance. HE’S MY WARRIOR (4) comes through the same last start race and also disappointed after racing handy but his previous effort was solid and he gets another chance to rebound. Can improve sharply. KOONDEEMAN (8) resumes off a break and was competitive last time in similar company. Boasts a terrific record on his home track and is a noted fresh performer. Hard not to see him running well. ENNIROC (1) didn’t fire last start but is much better than that. Has a nice turn of foot and gets some important weight off with the claimer engaged. Obvious danger. PEE DEE (10) is knocking on the door and deserves his chance over a trip he likes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Master Gee each-way.
