A solid tempo anticipated with Predict The Future and Rouge Angel ahead of Woodrow and Twoexcel. SINFULL (7) finally lived up to expectations at start five with a tenacious on-pace victory over 1006m at this track. Gets in light with McColm's 2kg claim and can continue the winning momentum. ROUGE ANGEL (6) fourth-up for this and had excuses last time out when she drifted back from the gate to finish a battling fifth over 1000m at the Gold Coast. This looks much easier from the better draw and assess on the dominant win at Ballina two-back. WOODROW (1) resumes after progressing nicely in his second campaign. Rewarded for his consistency with a slick on-pace Maiden win over 1350m at Doomben last April. Can get cover from the draw and take a hand in the finish. TWOEXCEL (3) has struggled in her two runs back and can make rapid improvement in this weaker contest. Sat mid field and failed to make an impression with a dismal ninth over 1015m at the Gold Coast. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sinfull ticks a few boxes today, hard to hold out.
