Keen battle for the lead with Time Is Money, Castle Aile and Miracle Mickey in advance of Mcmurdo and Dancing Tiara. TIME IS MONEY (3) was a winner two back at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten only 1.4 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. MIRACLE MICKEY (6) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by a head. Shaping up nicely and he is definitely worth including. MCMURDO (4) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over today's journey at this track. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and three minor placings from four starts and has to be respected. HYEONGNIM (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
