Tomorrow, Flat6f

NEED FOR SPIETH (16) returned from a lengthy spell with a dominant all-the-way win over 1206m at Grafton last start. Lightly raced colt who is an untapped talent. Nicely drawn and although meeting a far deeper field today he has the ability to match them. ASSENT (5) hasn't been far away in his two runs this time in work, most recently missing the placings narrowly over this trip at Lismore after travelling on a limb. Big chance to return to the winner's list with a little more luck in running. NATIONAL INTEREST (8) came from near the tail to record a barnstorming maiden win recently over this distance at Grafton. Took forever to break the ice but might be worth following now. PLATINUM GIFT (7) has opened this prep with a couple of nice efforts in sharper sprints. Gets out to this trip at just the right stage of the campaign. EVERY HEART (2) has been kept fresh since a reasonable return at Doomben 39 days ago. Wide draw his greatest enemy today.
