LOTUS BLEU (5) Tidy run when 3rd last time here. J Bartos and Zdenek Semenka deserve serious consideration as a team. Should race on the speed. Serious player. ALLIED POWERS (3) Came in 4th last run at this venue. Should improve from the last run. Great to see jockey Jan Kratochvil taking the ride. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Capable of taking this out. NA SCOITEAR (1) Really dug deep when winning last start at this track. L Neprasova rates highly aboard. Definite claims. CHEEKY BLIMEY (2) Towards the rear last start here. Happy to forgive that run and drawn well. Displays good tactical speed. Jockey Gab Agus adds value. Strong chance.
