|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Matcha Latte and Punch Lane pressing for the lead. PUNCH LANE (5) undefeated on the heavy tracks and backs-up quickly after giving them a galloping lesson over 1500m at Randwick in BM100 class last Saturday. Rawiller sticks and will take catching again out to the mile. MIGHTY ULYSSES (3) raced in much tougher company last prep and like the way he closed off with the 60kg when fifth to Sandpaper over 1400m at Randwick first up. His good second up record can see him take this out. MATCHA LATTE (12) chasing his third straight win this prep and jumps many grades for this. Proven at the trip and adept in all conditions. Sure to be thereabouts. TAVI TIME (9) heavily supported on resumption when a narrow second to Sandpaper over 1400m at Randwick. Will be closing off strongly from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Punch Lane to take stopping again.
