GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Catch Cry to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MR KING (3) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. In the right race and is a winning hope. BRIXIA (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second here two starts back then scored by 6 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. QUERENCIA (1) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 3-length win at this track over 1400m. Will give a sight again. KAMINO MAGIC (7) has filled a minor placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1500m at this track. Likely to be about the money again.
