|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo from Batticuore leading A Shin Graal. TERCEIRA (5) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. BATTICUORE (10) was prominent at the bend but failed to live up to expectations over 1300m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CARAMEL CHORD (3) fought on well for second last start over 1300m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Nice alley so must be a leading chance again. A SHIN GRAAL (12) resumes in a similar race to her last run nine weeks ago when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Definite top-three chance.
