Without a recognised leader, Love Ko and Tomoja Baron De will likely set the pace. DUCK AND DRAKE (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SIENA DANCE (9) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing a neck from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Likely to feature. ONOMATOPEE (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. JOY BLACK (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 6 when beaten 5 lengths into ninth at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
