THE TEACHER (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when ninth over 1000m at this track seven weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. ELEGANT KATZE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUCIA DE SIRACUSA (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VOLASTE A LA META (1) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 1000m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.
