Loads of in-form horses. HOTEI SENSHI was tried in Saturday city class second run back from spell and did enough over 1400m to make good appeal in trip with a strong 1627m run at only second start. Like three week break to build fitness for longer trip. Went very well on Heavy 9 first up. COVERT THINKING looks ready to go close after a strong second in BM72 in Sydney over 1900m and drops back to BM62 here. Strong last 200m at meeting level. Jumped up in trip in that start and feel that will top him off nicely for a testing 1730m on deep going in last race of the day. The 3kg claim is a major help. SIDE PIECE has a great record where the tracks are Heavy10 or racing slower than that. Relished the wet tracks with easy wins in this distance range this preparation and feel he better suited back in trip from 2050m last time. Also think he is better on big tracks than the turning Mount Gambier circuit. DENY ENTRY battled on well behind Zebra Finch, with the latter in the market and placed in Saturday city BM70 at next start. OMNIC has a strong wet-track profile and has been in fine form in races in this distance range. Excellent 1.5kg claimer a bonus.
