GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Famous Glory and Waltz For Debby will likely pair off in front of the small field. EPIC HERO (3) was an impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. JUJU JUNE (1) is a five-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten a neck into second last time out over 1400m at this track. Races well here and is right in contention. FAMOUS GLORY (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. No reason he cannot salute again. WIN PERCEE (2) pushed forward and was a determined winner by a neck over 1500m at this track last time out. Is in solid form this prep, scoring two wins and a placing from four starts. Don't underestimate.
