RACE COMMENT
MOSSDALE TERRY (9) was off the 10m tape here last time and with a scratchy start was able to find running line cover when 8m astern of the winner. Runner-up in both prior starts, including a 3m margin behind SEND IT over this trip, if he can step cleanly, he gets the chance to capitalise. ALTA SENSATION (2) has hit the board in all three standing start attempts, the latest here two runs back when stepping straight to the front and once in control, able to hold them off. Eased from the mobile last start when unplaced behind RAKASANDY, a safe start will be a big help. SEND IT (6) was sent to the breeze last start and after the tough trip, faded over the closing stages to trail them home. Able to find the front and see them off three starts back, he has claims. SO SIRIUS (8) was strong to the line two starts back when finishing an eye-catching 3rd behind CONEY ISLAND LOU. Franking that effort here last week when stepping it out in front, being shifted to 20m for conditions here is not ideal.
