Verdict

SWEET KICK (6) has had a lot of tries but bursting to win the maiden. Paced at the provincials two back then fifth in town last time. Placed only try this course and distance. Hard to beat this line-up. TENNESSEE FIRE (1) has the most upside and looks a threat on last run. Fair debut here then improved sharply last time and kept coming to just miss. Extra trip a plus and will be tough to stop. THE GRUMP (4) was fourth here last time. Certainly worth another chance. SIR AALI (5) looks suited by the extra trip and can do much better. ROAD TO THE CITY (3) placed at the provincials last time and has claims.
