Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. GROOVY DESIGN (1) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Expect her to play a major role. BALLET DE LAPIN (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUN CORTEZ (4) finished fourth last start after being prominent at the corner over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her eighth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. GUM PEELING (8) finished fifth at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on July 13. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
