RUNWAY BLUE (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 525m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Form reads well for this. EXACTLY LIKE DAD (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.47) from Box 3 at this track over 525m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. RETALIATION (2) hit the frame latest in a scintillating time (29.26) when second behind Dennis Keeping over 515m at The Gardens. Bold showing expected again. IVORY INZAI (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
