Freak On A Lead has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. GALLANT WARRIORS (2) spiked his figures again winning back-to-back this grade/distance. He will further improve and has been freshened. He can deliver the hat-trick with average luck in the run. SUSHI EXPRESS (5) went close first-up and then impressed winning the CL1 here. He can use the paint and has won over this distance. The likely threat. FREAK ON A LEAD (1) runs along and just held on this grade and trip. He's a seasoned performer and a 3kg claimer goes aboard. Makes his own luck and is sure to give a sight. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (4) would be in the finish finding his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Gallant Warriors.
