RACE EIGHT
HIGH ON MONTANA (4) was angled away from the inside here on Tues and with the breeze looking on offer, circled them and was soon 4-wide in looking for position. Battling away to the line, it was a tidy effort under the circumstances. Fading the start prior in a similar race to this after working hard, this looks to be well within reach.
IDEAL TIGER (8) has been to the track 3 times since arriving in Aus and was able to breakthrough for his 1st victory last start at Marburg. Eased back from gate 5 in that contest, he came with the closing shot to arrive for a narrow victory. The inside gate is a little tricky here, but with the winning confidence is in the mix.
OUR FRIEND (10) wasn’t on his best behaviour last start and was never in the mix after failing to move up. Grabbed late after leading them up 2 starts back over the 2138m, if his manners come to the track, he can be sharper.
IFYOUBELIEVE (2) just keeps racking up the placings and added another last start to make it a top-3 in 13 of his past 14 outings. With good speed off the gate, he can find a handy spot to feature.
