GOING: S

Race 11 1800m

Track: SOFT     True  

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. HABIRE (3) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past five starts. Last time out he finished third over 1700m at this track. Can go on with it. AMANTE BIANCO (4) is a talented colt who has been in the money at all four starts. Has not been produced since he finished second over 1800m at this track on February 14. Likely to have come on over the break so he is likely to be in the finish. AMMOTHYELLA (1) found one better when resuming last start at this track over 1700m. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from four starts. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. BLUE SUN (8) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1800m at this track ten weeks ago. R Wada has been the pilot at his last two wins. Must be respected and the hat-trick beckons.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run struggled in the run home; 5th of 9 at this track on March 20 over 1700m, 10 len behind Saint Honore carrying 56kg at $11.30. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5 len win at this track January 25 over 1700m defeating Perseverante with 57kg at $1.30. Hard to envisage a win today.

Third-up today. First-up ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track February 27 over 2000m defeating Golden Buzzer with 56kg at $1.30. Last start failed to make an impression; 6th of 9 at this track on March 20 over 1700m, 13 len behind Saint Honore carrying 56kg at $15. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
