---|---|---|---|---|
The pace looks even at best given a lack of early speed. UNUSUAL PROSPECT (5) lightly raced import held in high regard by the stable. Returned for a commanding victory over 1600m at Gosford with the 60kg. Gets a similar set up for this and expected to take the next step. ALLEGRO MISS (10) on the quick backup after closing smartly with a close up sixth over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Winning rider sticks and gets a more economical run here. Each way. AKKADIAN EMPEROR (1) returns from a lengthy break. Will keep improving as he gets deeper in the prep and given the two trials for this. Keep safe with the claim. TIP TOP TIMING (9) consistent gelding who will appreciate the claim. Boxed on steadily when fourth over 1600m at Gosford. At his top now and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unusual Prospect to win again.
