In a race without an obvious leader, either Good Karma or Ocean Tsunami can roll them along. OCEAN TSUNAMI (8) exciting filly who won well on debut from the wide gate, then produced a fighting second over 1350m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Drops back a level and looks the one to beat. STILL RISING (10) is a two-start maiden worth another look in this easier contest. Failed to close off with the 58kg when fifth over 1600m at Gosford. Can play a leading role today. KAHRABA (6) snagged back from the gate and closed late for a solid fifth over this track and trip when second-up. Improver who can run into the minor money. DISGRUNTLED (9) warmed up late on debut when stormed down the outside for a handy fourth over 1300m at this track. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Tsunami looks too good for these.
