Track: SOFT 6     Rail: +7m 1200m chute, +5m Remainder.  

Without a recognised leader, Torrita and Gazelle will likely set the pace. Tricky race. EMPIRE GRACE (12) has gotten home strongly in her two runs back after settling at the rear. Drawn out again but looks to be going better than most of these. Hopefully they chance their arm from the draw and put her into the race, if they do she'll take some stopping. EXTRA HOT (15) hasn't won for a long time but is knocking on the door. Gets a key switch in Holder, who will look to be more positive on the mare. Best form has her in the finish. SASSY FOR SURE (10) doesn't win out of turn but has shown glimpses of breaking through all throughout this prep. If Price can settle her closer from a middle draw, she may just put it all together this time. GLOBAL TURN (1) lacks early speed but possesses a strong turn of foot. Watch for her bursting through. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Empire Grace.
