Strong tempo assured from Flower Gallery and Struggle Street leading the charge. BOHEMIAN ANGEL (9) goes on top. She's racing consistently, just finding one better at Caulfield Heath two back before an even effort in a small field at Cranbourne when well backed. Comes back a notch here and is expected to bounce back strongly. STRUGGLE STREET (6) stuck on well at Sandown Lakeside last time in a BM66 having won two on the bounce prior. She's got good early speed and will likely be marked to lead from the low gate with the 4kg claimer engaged. EXPRESS GUARD (4) resumes. He can mix his form a bit having formerly raced with the Freedman's, but his best is absolutely good enough, watch the betting. SUN DEVIL (5) won well on debut at Kyneton and can measure up with natural improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bohemian Angel to win.
