Without a great deal of early pace evident Kuwait may lead the way over Justice Please. WEST HEAD (1) was close-up in all three runs last campaign and resumes off two solid trials. Race experience a big advantage in this. Hard to go past. EGYPTIAN’S REWARD (10) found a hot race in a spring debut and resumes on home ground after a recent trial win. Poorly drawn but capable of a cheeky showing fresh. NAUGHTY SORT (9) has shown enough at the trials to keep safe with a genuine light weight. Suggest a market watch on debutant HELICONIA (8). Trial win here on March 24 was encouraging. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Head win.
