Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. KEADOOL (1) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win in a CL2 over 1000m at Wellington. Carries more weight but maps well and is well placed to repeat the dose. BRUMMAGEN (4) led and missed a whisker in the same contest, improving again. Keeps the 2kg claim, and he's sure to threaten again. EMPHATIC BEL (7) led and went close at Warren and his half-length defeat here three back in a 66 stacks right up. Draws awkwardly but has solid each-way claims. PRESS FORWARD (2) did about what was expected first up, but she's proven second up and has won this course/trip. The 2kg claim is handy, and she will settle back and hit the line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Keadool.
