Plenty of pace with Super Zippi and Bev's Nine leading from Oceans One. WAVE BREAKER (5) appreciated the class drop to fire home a sharp number in the latest run. Taking her seriously in ideal conditions. BEV’S NINE (6) backed up some hot trials with a classy debut win. More depth and a bigger track make it harder but is going places. OCEANS ONE (8) has battled on well in deep sprints of late but will need luck to go his way early. Still a player. ALL TOO LUCKY (9) resumes. Was contesting stronger races than this prior to a spell. Will be doing her best work late. CES SOIREES LA (7) resumes. Ran some good races at this level last campaign, winning at Newcastle and placing at Gosford. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wave Breaker win. Box exacta 5,6,8,7.
