GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Decision to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. NAMURA BOSS (4) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 3 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. THREE HELIOS (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths starting at $4.50. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. SETON (1) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of a big run. DECISION (6) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 4 lengths into third over 1900m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
