|---|---|---|---|---|

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Grand Live. ACE RAISING (10) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by a neck at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. GRAND LIVE (2) finished out of the money in seventh over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. IT'S MY BUSINESS (6) finished sixth over 820m at this track four weeks ago. In the mix on best form. GORGEOUS DRAGON (1) has struggled to threaten of late but looks best of the rest in a thin contest.
