GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Pace sure to be genuine from Cherry Time and Wonder Glee matching motors, closely followed by A Shin Nova. CHERRY TIME (12) was second last start over 1400m here after a win at this track the start prior. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. A SHIN NOVA (6) stepped out over more ground last time and struggled when fifth at this track. Great chance to atone. WONDER GLEE (3) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a major role. TECHNO HAPPY (9) continues to improve and should be at his peak now after finishing in the money at this track over 1230m last time out. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
