Expecting Broadway Lane to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ONE KIND (8) was brilliant at this track and distance last start and suspect she's the one to beat again. She draws low and should get all the favours in the run. Any give in the ground will aid her chances but she's quite versatile. BENTLEY BROOK (4) might be able to go forward and control the race. He had to absorb too much pressure last time but his prior form is OK for this. BROADWAY LANE (13) held on well to finish third last time out over 1050m at this track after leading for much of the way. Fitter and should give backers a sight again. SIOUX WARRIOR (3) good effort last time when he finished just 2 lengths away in sixth over 1000m at Morphettville Parks. Has ability and looks a top three chance back to this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing One Kind to win again.
