MOCHA TO GO (2) hit the ground running to score by 4.5 lengths (26.32) at this track over 457m. Drawn to be prominent early. Up in class but rates to win again. INEPTITUDE (8) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (19.55), beaten 5.5 lengths. Finished second the start before. Is still learning but is one of the better hopes. SIREN SOUNDS (3) looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (26.64) at this track in a Class 0. Has first look at box 3 this time. Expected to be in this for a long way. CARAT SMUGGLER (1) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Class 1 at this track over 457m. Is always slow away but does have a powerful finish.

Made debut this course and distance and immediately off the mark, scoring a 4.5 lengths win in 26.32. Will find this much tougher but she should put herself in the race early.
