Hot tempo expected from Russian Snitzel and Asuriito. MANWE (5) smart on his day and returns from a spell of four months. Now in the Snowden yard and raced in much stronger company when last in work. Ran ninth in a Randwick trial over 740m recently. Value prospect. INSIGHTFUL AWARD (10) was a month between runs and back in distance when a surprise 6 len winner over 1100m at Scone. Down in the weights today and will be strong late. SILENCIO PORFAVOR (2) won his first two career starts before resuming with a dismal last over 1000m at Warwick Farm in BM72 company. Kept fresh and fitted with a recent 900m trial. Expecting him to bounce back with the claim. COOL LAD (6) resumes from a lengthy spell. Chipped away late when fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange on August 10 last year. Given the one soft trial and gets nice weight relief from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manwe each way.
