GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Despejado should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. MEINER AILE (4) is unbeaten this campaign, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track when he got home by 6 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so he looks the testing material. DESPEJADO (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in contention all the way. Should be prominent from the low draw. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MOON BEST HORSE (5) finished 7 lengths back in eighth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. MOON PASS COURAGE (3) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. One of the main hopes.
