Solid pace with Water Riche finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. CELERY (10) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. MARUMORI HAPPINESS (4) finished sixth last time out over 920m at this track. Steps up in distance today. Drawn to stalk the leaders and could prove tough to beat. ARDOUR GROW (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1500m at this track. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and six minor placings from eight starts. Should be competitive. WATER RICHE (1) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when ninth at this track over 1400m. Top-three prospects.
