TABTOUCH PLACE A SAME RACE MULTI CATCH A WAVE FINAL NR 30-80 MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

BELLY UP (12) was tough in victory here last week, drawing deep and racing three wide without cover but finding plenty for a narrow win over a progressive rival. That was his third success from his last four outings and continued a long string of top-two finishes. Good enough to overcome the back row draw to deliver again. LION QUEEN (3) drew deep and covered ground but was too good in a resuming win by 3.3m. This is stronger but that win took her record here to five from nine and she races well second up. A good draw gives her the chance to go back to back. SOHO MOONRAKER (10) is open to improvement having been beaten only 2.4m into fourth when resuming. LORD TITANIUM (4) is in the mix off a last-start win by a head at this venue.
