GOING: S

Race 7 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Baksheesh should lead at a strong tempo. VICROY (7) resumed over 1400m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Ready to find peak form this time. ROZA (11) is a 14-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1200m at this track. This looks like a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. BAKSHEESH (12) was a winner at this track over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when ninth at this track. Can bounce back. MEINER SCHLAG (14) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage ninth last time out over 1200m at this track. This field is not strong and he could find his way to breaking through for an overdue maiden win if he can secure the right run early on.
