Hope And Glory is expected to lead at a strong tempo. HOPE AND GLORY (3) has not raced since scoring an easy win on debut over this distance at Moruya on 17 January. Four-year-old who has been brought along patiently. Likely improver over the break and can win again. DENI GAL (5) was five weeks between runs when a moderate sixth over this distance at Kembla last time out. Strips fitter and won't find this as tough so she is a definite contender. ARCTIC DESERT (1) is in career-best form. Made it two wins from three runs this prep when he just got the prize over today's trip at Wagga last time out. That run followed an eight-week let-up so there is improvement to come. HOLD (4) is back from a four-month spell. Has won twice from four attempts when resuming so expect her to be wound up to run well. MEDIA COVERAGE (8) is racing well and at his best over this trip. Good each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hope And Glory to remain unbeaten.
