FIRST RICKEY (8) was in the firing line on the bend and finished 4.5 lengths away from the winner in third last start at this track over 1750m Has a very good record over today's journey with 12 wins from 23 starts. Isao Yamaguchi who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Likely to feature. RHEIN ANGELA (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. PATRIOT GAME (1) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. COSMO VIOLA (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
