Solid pace with Flower Flora finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. TEKA PO (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. EPIGENETICS (6) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Masashige Honda stays aboard and he is definitely worth including. EARTH BLUE (9) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 8 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and must be respected. GOLD TOPIARY (10) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
