---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting King Halston to take up the running. CHOSEN MISS (3) is going better than her form reads and will appreciate the drop in grade. Gets help at the weights with the 3kg claimer going on and is more than capable of taking this out if she brings her A-Game. TEMBU BOY (6) was much better last start without threatening, closing off solidly into fourth over a similar trip. Has more to over third-up and is drawn much more kindly. Bold showing anticipated. SACRED KENSHI (1) has been well below his best in his last last two stars in town, so he should appreciate the drop in grade. Steps back to a winning trip and gets help under the big weight with the 3kg claimer engaged. Watch for a sharp bounce back. AMERICAN TROUBLE (11) is knocking on the door and should be nearing a peak now with the three runs under her belt. Shoulders a handy record over this track and trip. Has to be taken seriously. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chosen Miss to win.
