ALPINE THUNDER (1) has won 2/3 this preparation and it was comfortable here last time. Keeps getting better and can go on with the job. WINNING WITNESS (2) tackled better class here and only battled. His form at this level prior reads strongly and he has an inside gate today and 3kg claim. Drops back to a shorter sprint freshened and is a chance to bounce. WARICA (4) brings a near miss from the synthetic and peaks. Gives away starts but Newitt sticks and should give him every chance. ADACHI (3) resumes and is proven fresh. Has a 2kg claim and maps well. He will race over further but has won at this trip and has ability.
