Good pace with Triptolemus, Sacred Mistress and Snowy prominent. KENDALIA (8) doesn't win out of turn but was only denied by the barest of margins last start on the home track. Best figures measure up nicely and he's drawn to get every. TRIPTOLEMUS (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before being grabbed by one late. At his top now and will be crossing quickly from out there under Keatings. Can steal it from the front. SNOWY (4) returns for the Joseph & Jones camp and is a noted fresh performer. Held her own in town last start and has trialled well in readiness. Is sure to make her presence felt. SACRED MISTRESS (6) gets a key switch with Loy aboard and appears the next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kendalia.
