Live Ketchup to take charge ahead of Sparrows at a strong tempo. DANCING FIGHT (1) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. LIVE KETCHUP (5) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. LIBERTE (8) did little and finished 13 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track last start after being prominent at the turn, a less impressive effort than his seventh at this track the run before. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ICE BOWL (7) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Not to be discounted.
