Verdict

Mass scratchings have made this a little easier. SANCTIFIED (10) made significant progress last start when second-up from a spell, going under narrowly in a comparable race to this after travelling just off the pace. Best form comes at this stage of the prep so he can take that next step today at double-figure odds. DEEP PLEASURE (5) shouldered 61.5kgs to fill a placing here at this trip first-up then weakened late over 7f at Randwick in better company more recently. Very fit now and back in the right race. PIMLICO (3) is two for two this prep, comfortably getting home last time over 6 ¼f at the Kensington track. Tougher assignment today but impossible to fault. SUPERMASSIVE (4) was a beaten favourite here last time but can improve with blinkers on for the first time. Stablemate CONDONE (13) returned from a seven-month spell with a tough all-the-way win here at this trip a fortnight ago. Promising three-year-old who can take this next step.
