Strong pace from Immortal Storm and City Of Tears matching motors with Yoweri close at hand. YOWERI (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1000m at Gold Coast. Certainly worth another chance. IMMORTAL STORM (1) has turned in much better efforts in his last two and the form around him is strong. Gets a key booking in Heywood from a favourable draw. Have to take seriously. BLUISH HUE (6) returns and makes his stable debut for the Dunn camp. Has been fitted with two trials and holds form up north that can see him be very competitive fresh. Mallyon's booking is a good push. CITY OF TEARS (7) also resumes and it's worth noting he was a dominant all the way winner when resuming last campaign at Coffs Harbour. Have to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yoweri goes on top.
