RACE THREE
This shapes as a tricky little contest with manners and luck both required to feature. That makes IVANOV (6) an appealing proposition, as he has found form, can makes his own luck and brings excellent manners. Fitter again from his 3rd up run, he stepped straight to the front and dictated over the 2138m. If there is a query it comes at the longer trip, but a top-3 would make it the 50th time he has filled a trifecta position here at AP.
KYVALLEY TINMAN (4) pressed ahead from a 10m tape to find the front over this trip 2 starts back and once in control was never in danger when scoring an 8m victory. A red figure fav last start from the mobile, he did everything right until the stretch, when making an error. He can atone in this.
NORTHERN MUSCLE (8) once again has the 40m back-mark to contend with, but should appreciate the longer trip after falling just 1m short last time over the 2138m. With the right trip he is a danger.
FOURSHARESMOREBEERS (7) resumes from a spell and was meeting the stronger types prior to the break. Beaten 11m behind NORTHERN MUSCLE 2 starts back, he gets a 40m turnaround for this.
