---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Lucifer's Way. LUCIFER'S WAY (1) progressive gelding who can go on with it now after shedding his maiden status at start three over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast. Gets the right set up again in a winnable race. CHAMPONNET (4) kicked off the campaign with a dominant win in the heavy going. Sent to town at latest when a fading tenth over 1200m at Doomben. This looks easier with the claim. Top three prospect. NO RAGRETS (8) gets further weight relief with the claim and comes here deep into his prep. Assess on his good maiden win two back. CITY GOLD SPEED (2) did just enough to break through last start but is only lightly raced and open to further improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lucifer's Way to keep the winning momentum going.
