Ivy League to take up the running at a moderate tempo. M UNICORN (1) bolted in over this track and trip last start after taking up the running in a mid-race move. He sprinted away to win by 2L there in a very impressive performance. Up in weight today, but he maps beautifully once again and he can bring up back-to-back wins. DEFINITIVE (4) didn't see out the extra trip last time out and drops back to 1650m where he's building a handy record. Teetan hops back in the saddle and his last couple ratings here stack right up. He'll take plenty of catching. AESTHETICISM (6) gets Purton in the saddle now following a 0.5L defeat at this track and trip. His recent trial was solid with Purton on board and he can be right in the finish. IVY LEAGUE (8) should be close to the speed and drops in weight despite a 1.8L defeat last time out. Form out of that has been good and he won't be far away.
