GOING: G

Race 7 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Seattle Fountain and Sea Of Wave to battle for the lead ahead of the small field. SEA OF WAVE (3) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. RABBIT HAIR (1) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing sixth over 2200m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. FRIENDLY MOON (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive but is among the main hopes this time. SEATTLE FOUNTAIN (5) is a eight-start maiden. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
