Metal Metallica has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. VARIRAPTOR (1) is a 17-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at her last two runs, finishing third most recently over 1400m at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Bold showing expected. PRIME TAILOR (9) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROSA BLU (2) showed good speed here last time over 1400m until tiring late and finishing seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can give a sight if at her best. METAL METALLICA (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track after being handy for much of the way. Can break the run of outs.
