GOING:

Race 3 1600m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Una Gloria to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. UNA GLORIA (1) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last four starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time out and will take beating again. HYPED BOY (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign and is sure to go well again. SHKMERULI (7) improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 1400m at this track. Well placed and he can repeat the dose. SHISHINO BRAVE (10) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Gets back but will wind up late. Top-three prospects.
