Expecting Bird On A Wire to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ACQUIRED TASTE (4) gets Pike on board today replacing the apprentice hoop after storming home late in the race last time out. She remains down in the weights here and getting out to the mile now is a big tick for her chances. The draw makes things difficult, though she's showing class and can return to winning ways. TAKE A LEAF (11) finished impressively to score by 1.1L over 1400m at this track. She's likely to get back in the run again, but she carries no weight after the claim of Cooper. Can storm home over the top once again and bring up back-to-back wins. UNCLE GERARD (3) can settle a touch closer this time around and rates highly on his last start over a similar trip here. Remains down in the weights here and won't be far away. OUR MATE ARCHIE (1) can bounce back to winning ways as he drops right back from Saturday grade. SISU SPIRIT (2) was better last start and can feature in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Acquired Taste can get the job done.
