Track:   Rain (Max: 21)    

Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Tin Cup, Blazing Light and Future Saint. ANIMAL IMPACT (7) returned to winning ways over this trip last time. He meets a similar line-up this evening and can follow up with another victory. FUTURE SAINT (5) is better than his last start, as he was reported to be fatigued. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice. SWEETER THAN HONEY (6) finished seventh last start and was a game third before that. She gets Muzi Yeni in the saddle this time and can bounce back into the money. BLAZING LIGHT (8) finished eighth under a big weight last start. Three of his four career victories have come over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed, and even though he prefers a poly track, he would not be a shock winner.
