Duke Of Bronte to take charge ahead of Mal Coupe at a strong tempo. DUKE OF BRONTE (1) progressive sprinter who held his own in Highway grade last prep resuming. Fitted with a sharp trial win over 800m at Goulburn and has excellent fresh figures. Finds a winnable race. OAKFIELD BADGER (2) deep into his prep and this looks a much easier assignment. Kept finding through the line when a respectable fourth over 1200m at Rosehill in Midway class. Can get cover from the draw and play a leading role. APACHE BREEZE (4) had mixed success this time in and returns from a let-up. Slow into stride from the low draw and got further back than expected when a poor eighth over 1200m at Gosford. Winning apprentice hops back aboard and has a tidy fresh record. MAL COUPE (8) has come back mush stronger this campaign and gets his chance again after running second to Hawker Hall over 1100m at Gosford. Hard fit and trained locally. SUGGESTED PLAY: Duke Of Bronte to go close.
