EPIC RUSSIA (8) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Turned in another good performance last time out when second over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GLIMMER OF HOPE (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth in a 1300m contest at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. AMIGUITA PEPI (6) is a 19-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1100m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. HOMARICRIST (5) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
