Verdict

FRANKELY SUBLIME (6) raced keenly in the run and pulled up with a slow recovery rate when a disappointing eighth over 6f at Kembla Grange. Gets map favours again and will relish the weight drop. Key jockey change and expect a sharp form reversal. PROVISEUR (4) frustrating gelding resuming in weaker company. Drifted back in the run and failed to make an impression when a poor seventh over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Looked good when a recent trial winner over 4f at Kembla Grange. Has a stack of gear changes and will be closing late. PENTAGON (2) former New Zealand sprinter on debut for the Bjorn Baker yard. Ran into the minor money again when third over 6 ½f at Cambridge Synthetic Maat last July. Has impressed in both trials and has the speed to get across from the sticky draw. Gelded over the break and the blinkers come off. Big market watch. HERAION (10) deep into her preparation now and can race handy with cover. Value player.
