THUNDERLIPS (4) has always shown above-average ability and is starting to put it all together now. Kept his good second-up record intact when sliding across from the wide gate to get up in a tight finish with the 60kg over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Will stalk the good tempo again with the claim and prove hard to get past. KING OF ROSEAU (5) raced in better company last time in and gives the impression the 1400m will suit fourth up. Took good ground off Raikkonen when an unlucky second over 1200m at Gosford. Tom Sherry retains the ride and will pounce late. LITTLE COINTREAU (10) underrated gelding adept in all conditions. Hit the line with intent carrying the 60kg to run third over this trip at Randwick Kensington. Proven at this level and gets the gun run. BOLTSAVER (16) improving Echuca-trained gelding who comes right into calculations with the nice weight drop in the heavy going. Can surprise in this harder race. SPIONE (18) is worth thought.
