---|---|---|---|---|
No noted leader engaged, but a decent tempo is expected. LOVELY ESTEEM (5) loomed up to win last start but just peaked on her run late. Should be right at her peak fourth up and has drawn to get every hope for McDonald. Got a fair way back last start but is expected to be more prominent this time. Rates top at the weights and is the one to beat. ELUSIVE JEWEL (2) beat the former last start, breaking through for a much deserved win. May have levelled out for this preparation but still shapes as the main danger. SOFFIKA (12) is improving with every run and appears the next in line. While DR EVIL (4) can work his way into exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Lovely Esteem.
