Moderate tempo headed by Verbek, Destiny's Delight and Mittata. DESTINY'S DELIGHT (6) is quietly improving with each run this time in and looks suited at this type of trip. A must-include. PIPISTRELLE (11) is holding her form strongly and ran a bold race in similar grade last start. Lots to offer. PURE HYDROGEN (5) hasn't had a lot of luck in two runs back from spell and will park quietly early. Third up on a bigger track can do better. HEMSWORTH (7) has had a few excuses in most recent runs and has been freshened into this. Drawn ideally and races best at this type of trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Destiny's Delight each-way.
