TIGER POWER (5) Racing fresh today after a break. Honest race when 3rd last time at Newcastle and will benefit with the weight drop. Displays good tactical speed. Strong hope. SEATTLE CHIEF (8) 3yo by Sergei Prokofiev first starter for Keiran Burke. Watch betting. HAVANA'S TUNE (11) Havana Gold 3yo having first race start for trainer Marco Botti. Market as guide. DAKOTA BREEZE (6) Rattled home nicely into 2nd last start at Newcastle and having second career run. Competing at a lower level of competition. Gets a reduction in weight. Can go on with it.
