Lady Pankhurst to set a strong tempo booting up on the inside of My Proclama and Tuscany.
BROADWAY STREET (7) drifted back to last from the outside gate then went through his gears impressively to record a maiden win first-up over this course and distance 17 days ago. Has only raced twice so there is a stack of improvement to come. Stick with him. MY PROCLAMA (9) has been a bit hot and cold of late. Went close at Wyong two runs back over this distance then failed to flatter last time when she stepped up to 1300m. Yet to miss the frame in four runs at 1200m so she is in the right race to bounce back to form. MATIMA (1) last raced on 25 February when last of five first-up over 1100m at Rosehill. Trialled well recently at Warwick Farm. A wide gate and 62kgs isn't ideal but he is too talented to leave out in this company. SEDUCTRA (12) resumed with a comfortable maiden win over 1100m at Gosford last start. Two-year-old up against older horses but she can play a key role. TUSCANY (4) is racing in great heart this prep and he should be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Broadway Street to make it two in a row.
