Free Carry should find the front with True To Form and Smart Legend on his heels.
BUNKER HUT (7) tried hard but didn't have the turn of foot required when fourth over 1200m at this track last start. In the money at eight of ten runs over 1400m. Cherry ripe and this race presents a great chance to open the account this prep. LAST COMMAND (8) continued his fine run of form when beaten narrowly over the mile at this track last time out. Back in trip off a four-week break which looks a good scenario. Sure to run his usual honest race. TRUE TO FORM (10) was handy all the way when beaten under a length over this track and trip recently. Up in grade but strips fitter and gets a glorious run from a favourable draw. TEN DEEP (13) stormed home but missed in a photo here over today's journey last start. Takes on a better field this time but her form this prep has been impossible to knock. FREE CARRY (3) is well placed dropping back from the mile and should be prominent for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bunker Hut to break through.
