RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IKARA (3) ran very well last start and did his share of work just to be run down over the concluding stages.  Expect a big showing again.  AT THE DISTANCE (6) finished off powerfully to win last start and a similar effort can have him threatening again. THE FIERY SUNSET (8) racing well and did things wrong last start but closed late. A major chance again. BUCKLES FOR BERRY (7) MEGABAND (5) and KYVALLEY MISTY (9) haven’t been far away and are amongst the chances whilst CHINSKI (4) can improve and can’t be ignored. EARLY SPEED: 3,4,6,7 RATINGS: 3/ 6/ 8/ 7/ 5/ 9/ 4
