BLAKEMORE AVENUE (6) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0. 9 lengths over 6f at Beaudesert. Open to plenty of improvement and is all set to make it two-for-two this prep. THE TORQUE XPRESS (2) is racing well this campaign, including a last start win over 6f at Ipswich to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Looks suited by the extra ground now. Key chance on recent form. INQUISITOR (3) was a winner over 7f at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1. 1 lengths. Among the main hopes. OVAL OFFICE (4) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 6f70yards at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten half a length. Capable of another bold effort.
