GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

In a small field H N Bumpy and Escamillo should comfortably pair off up front. ESCAMILLO (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by one length at this track. Has started five times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should camp just off the leaders and commands respect. HAGANE (3) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. H N BUMPY (5) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has four wins from seven starts at this circuit and is a major player. NO WAY (2) is racing well with top-three finishes at his last three runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Has ability and is a strong top-three hope.
