---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine pace with Game Cove taking up the running ahead of North Rocks and In The Sun. TESTA DEXTA (4) bounced back to better form at the latest when narrowly missing the frame in town. Strikes an easier assignment on the short turnaround and is a leading contender. LION'S INSTINCT (1) has found it tough to notch up his second win but was improved last start when closing off solidly into fourth. Draws well again and is one of the main threats. ALASKAN STORM (6) was a barnstorming winner two back at Halidon. Failed to follow it up last start when always well back. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged and is worth another chance. IN THE SUN (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Testa Dexta to win.
