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

Strong tempo from Sashiba, Sound Evoke and Rhein Portulaca. RHEIN PORTULACA (1) turned in a handy position before finishing third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. MAGICAL MOTION (11) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from six outings. Top chance again. SASHIBA (3) finished fifth last time out over 1750m at this track. Goes well here and is in the mix. SOUND EVOKE (2) has registered eight minor placings from 11 runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1300m at this track. Can measure up.
