Race Overview
COETZEE (7) has shown promise and looks well treated at the weights, so he gets the nod in what should be an exciting finish. KATHINA (1) is in the form of her life and bids for a fourth consecutive win, though she does concede weight to her rivals. CHESS (2) has impressed since stepping up in distance and could be anything. TYRA (10) tries further for the first time but is consistent enough to be involved at the business end.
Selection:
7 - 1 - 2
