LATIN LYRIC (7) finds it hard to win with three victories from 42 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at Coffs Harbour, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BRAVEZEL (2) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by a head over 6f at Murwillumbah. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. HEAVY DUTY (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 5f190yards when he worked home well. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BRING ME TO LIFE (15) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Walcha, finishing third and only a nose from the winner at the end of 6f. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
