GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track: HEAVY      

Just a small field but Future Again, Hanalei and Saita Brown can ensure the pace is genuine. FUTURE AGAIN (3) was far from disgraced after being prominent at the bend to finish 2 lengths away in second last start over 1600m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. SAITA BROWN (1) started at $6.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 15 lengths at this track over 1600m. Finds a nice race and can atone. HANALEI (4) comes here off a break of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and three placings from eight starts. Comes here with definite top-three claims. RUTILE QUARTZ (5) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth in a 1600m contest at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
