KATSUTE (11) is a progressive four-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1600m at this track on September 13. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. TIERED (9) scored a dominant win at this track over 1600m at her latest appearance on 8/11/2024, the only time she faced the starter in that campaign. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. FOREST GATE (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths starting at $2.90. Nicely placed to make amends. GLORIOUS LINE (10) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the better hopes.
