---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Faire Advantage, Guardia Regine and Crested Eagle heading the charge. INGQWELE (5) ran a good race when third in his first run as a gelding. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He meets the right field and if taking to the polytrack, he should take a power of beating. POLICY OF TRUTH (6) showed good improvement when second over 1800m on this course last time. He set the pace but found one too good on the day. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be hard to peg back. SWEEPER KEEPER (4) stayed on well when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. Include in exotics. BURNING MAN (8) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he can play a big role.
