    Race Analysis

    MANUKAU (9) was a winner over 5f at Kembla Grange last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0. 8 lengths. Tommy Berry stays on. Expecting a bold showing. MISS CAPITALE (10) displayed plenty of early toe over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle) when resuming last time and dug deep to score by 0. 8 lengths. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. VANESSI (7) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 5½f at Warwick Farm, finishing third and beaten 0. 9 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ART'S ALIVE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Warwick Farm, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
