Genuine tempo with the speedy Shintaro Samurai leading the way. LIFE SENTENCE (1) was a determined winner here last time building on his strong record at the course and distance. Hard to fault and expected to feature again. EMPRESSIVE ENUFF (3) has been racing on speed finishing fourth on the Pakenham synthetic two back then placed here over 1200m latest. Going well and looks a leading chance. WATT ON EARTH (7) is close to a win, the latest finishing less than a length away at Swan Hill. Has ability and is one of the chances. SACRAMENTAL (5) has been tackling richer company and looks well placed to hit the frame. ISDELL (6) is well drawn and can give a big sight again here after winning in easier grade latest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Life Sentence.
