A Shin Taverna and Tweed River to take up the running at a genuine tempo. A SHIN TAVERNA (6) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TWEED RIVER (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ICHINO KOMACHI (5) ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1800m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. COASTAL TOWN (3) had been in great form winning two on end before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Can bounce straight back.
