Expecting Bardigrub to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. TOBIKKO (6) wasn’t given much chance on debut when allowed to drift too far back behind a sedate tempo, yet still rocketed home late to cause a scare. Expect Opperman to be more proactive this time. Looks above average. CARPE ASTRA (10) is a promising Lord Of The Sky filly on debut for the Hickmott yard. Her lead-up work has been sharp and she profiles as the main danger. NORHEIM (3) was beaten a head as favourite here earlier this month. Peaking now and keeps Toeroek. Don’t dismiss. Stablemate BARDIGRUB (8) comes through the same race as Tobikko, where she battled away gamely into fourth. Sure to have come on from that and deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tobikko to win.
