GOING:

Race 11 1900m

Track:      

Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. DRUM LIME (2) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1580m at this track. Should be handy in the run. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SEI EXCEED (3) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished fifth last time out over 1580m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid top-three chance. STAY CLASSY (5) missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1800m at this track, finishing fourth. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. AKARI RICKY (1) was eighth over 1580m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
