GOING: G

4RACING SEA COTTAGE STAKES 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Expecting a strong pace headed by Musical Score, Choisaanada and Fire Attack. FIRE ATTACK (1) resumes from a spell after having won over 2000m at this track last start when sent out as the favourite. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. He has plenty of class and if not in need of the run should be the one to beat. MUSICAL SCORE (2) lacked extra late when finishing sixth of 11 last time out after having won his previous two starts well. He has ability and is one of the leading chances. CHOISAANADA (3) won by a long neck over 1600m here last start when sent out at long odds. He is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. KAMENSKY (4) has good recent form lines to his credit. He finished third to the above selection last time. Rates well as an each-way chance.
