|---|---|---|---|---|

Fast tempo assured with Senshi coming out hard. DIMAGGIO (1) tough old gelding holding his form well. Stalked the speed as fav from the inside draw when a well-deserved neck winner over this track and trip on May 2. Up in weight today but has a massive fitness edge over most of these. PRIMO (11) got off the mark at start four when he ploughed through the heavy (10) conditions with a dominant 1.75 len win over 1400m at Kembla Grange on April 9. Kept fresh and looks to have the upside to go close again. MISSILE SEEKER (7) only the two wins from 13 starts but will find this more to his liking. Trapped off the track and never a chance behind the handy Redbreast over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on April 25. Look for him swooping late. TANNENBURG (2) lightly raced gelding resuming. Showed ability at his first prep when winning at his second start before jumping in grade when 13th over 1200m at Randwick on December 26. Not asked to do much in only trial and gets weight relief with the claim. Genuine contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,11,7,2.
