Strong tempo with Mangione and Lucas The Younger leading the way over Hasta La Fiorente. IMPOSING SUSPECT (9) couldn't get the job done as favourite at Penola in a hot contest but still did a good job to finish third. Gets in well at the weight with the slight rise in grade and doesn't have to improve much to get the verdict this time. EL JAMES (11) was a sharp improver second-up at Geelong and will be further benefited by the rise in trip. Milnes booking adds confidence - have to take seriously. BOLT BY (8) backs up quickly and will appreciate the drop in grade. Best form has him getting involved. LUCAS THE YOUNGER (13) is going better than it appears on paper and should appreciate the drop back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Imposing Suspect.
