Genuine pace with Smart Alive taking up the running ahead of Clee and Ingenium. CLEE (8) could only manage fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 800m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. A SHIN REPNI (4) is a genuine five-year-old mare who resumed with a solid second last time out at Sonoda over 820m. Leading player. SMART ALIVE (9) was prominent early when resuming last start but faded in the second half to finish ninth over 800m at this track. Has been in the money at each second up start. Ready to find peak form this time. INGENIUM (11) scored a commanding win at Sonoda over 820m at his latest appearance on September 18. Sure to make his presence felt.
