RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TUIVASA (5) resumes here and has started a short price favourite at all his four starts to date but has delivered only the one win so far. Quirky pacer with ability but chose not to compete in the Derby heats. No recent trials. Take on trust. MONTANA PRIDE (6) hasn’t had much go his way at his past two starts, race fit and experienced, can make his presence felt.  HUNGRY HOGARTH (2) in good form and finished off strongly to win last start. Harder here but draw well and can figure in the finish. Both FEEL THE REIGN (1) and ALIZA HILL (7) have good early speed and can race handy and are capable of being in this for a long way. Don’t dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 1,3,5,7 RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 2/ 1/ 7
