Maiden Race 2400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace from the outset with Zenno Zondag and Matenro Prince leading the charge. DON'T TESTA MASTER (17) had a six-week let-up and was tired over today's distance for the first time last start when just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third at this track. Will take a lot from that run and seems sure to play a pivotal role. SEA TO SUMMIT (13) made a mid-race move to travel up on the speed then dug deep and finished second last time out over 2400m at this track. Has recorded two top-three finishes from five runs at this venue. Ideally placed to open his account. SALT HAPPY (9) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 1.2 lengths. Can feature in the finish. VILLA JOVIS (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
