Solid tempo from Azonto, Wheeling and Tough Impact battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. KENSINGTON DIVA (1) has to manage a wide gate but her Victorian form reads well for this. She's back after 36 days for the Carr yard off a 1.4L defeat at Bendigo. Finds easier and the betting will be key. BLONDE STAR (2) resumes and is up to this if presented on song. Owns a trial win and the in-form Byrne Burke sticks from that. The betting will tell plenty with her as well. TURF PUZZLE (8) peaks and measure her on the narrow defeat at Hobart two-back. She will push forward and has the handy 2kg claim today. A chance. BATCHY BULLET (3) resumes and has trialled well with race rider Pires aboard. She raced at Stakes level and would be a chance if presented forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kensington Diva if the market suggests stable confidence.
