|---|---|---|---|---|

Good tempo expected with Pink Southpaw, Bouvardia Rose and Shodan Begin rolling forward. YTTERBIUM (11) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths over this trip. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Expected to feature. T M TENJIN (10) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 1400m here. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot salute. PINK SOUTHPAW (3) is a distance specialist who finished fourth two runs back at this circuit then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1400m at this course. Looks well placed so expect another big run. POP THUNDER (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this venue over 1400m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
