Plenty of pace likely from Curren The Bouquet, Exercise and Live Ketchup battling for the lead from Occitania. JOLLY ROGER (6) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 29 over 1400m when he scored by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Masatoshi Yamamoto retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of another big performance. OCCITANIA (9) started at $2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1600m after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LIVE KETCHUP (3) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. EXERCISE (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth over 1600m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
