RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: QUATRO MOTH (5) has always looked to possess remarkable raw ability without quite being the complete racehorse package. She won a Group 3 in just her second career start and resumes here for the first time since March. She seems the type of horse that will improve with maturity and time. LINE DANCE (2) has been excellent at his past two starts when able to find the fence. He has good gate speed and should be able to map well again. ASSIGNED (3) is lightly raced, with eight career starts producing two wins. He appears to have ability and is a progressive type, although he will need some luck from the barrier. KATUNGA EXPRESS (9) has the best sectional times in this field on exposed form. He has a suitable barrier to follow LINE DANCE (2) through early. There are several other runners with genuine claims, including TELERN LOFTY (11), KING SAINT (7) and OKANUI BEACH (10), but all face awkward barriers. BACK: LINE DANCE (2) – 1 unit (win)/ 2 units (place)
