LUCKY FISH GATES OF OLYMPUS MAIDEN PLATE 1500m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) |

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by In Motion. IN MOTION (3) is a speedy galloper who has been run down and finished second at last four starts, the latest by a nose. Big chance to score after a near miss last start. MONTESSORI (5) has wound up steadily at both runs to date and looks well placed stretching out in journey now. Genuine contender in this suitable contest. SPANISH VERSE (6) ran a much improved race last time when tested at a longer trip last time. Can build on that performance. TIME HONORED (4) has been freshened and back in trip. This is well within his grasp and will be running on hard.
