Delightful Journey to take charge ahead of Princing at a strong tempo. LOFTY THOUGHTS (2) turned in an eye-catching run over 1213m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. PRINCING (3) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1429m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. ALL BUSINESS (1) was beaten 4.5 lengths first-up, but will have come on from that and is suited with a slight rise in trip. PRINCESS SAKIKO (9) resumed over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic last start and after showing little early speed hit the line hard to finish third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Sure to be winding up strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lofty Thoughts to win.
