Unvarnished Gold and Piteraq to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. PITERAQ (1) held on well to finish second last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths when resuming. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. TREASURE STATE (4) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1000m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. SATISFIED (7) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at Scottsville last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RANK AND FILE (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Fire Away and hails from the Candice Tammy Dawson stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
