TEMPLEHILLS is generally hard to predict but goes well fresh and is effective around here so it might be worth risking that he arrives on a going day. Lakota Warrior was a bit disappointing at Perth but should stay the extra here and is still relatively unexposed. Vernon Subutex is having a first run for new connections but won seven times in France and is preferred to Realm Keeper and Helford River.
