GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Just a modest tempo anticipated. KEY FLASH (7) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Nicely placed to bounce back. TRAIT THEORY (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. DARK OF THE NIGHT (6) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when eighth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. A SHIN QUASAR (2) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish sixth last start over 1400m at this track. Among the chances.
