GOING: G

Race 9 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of early pace with Aero Stream and Burgmuller to vie for the lead, pressured by Mesan Durant and Battle Parileyya. BURGMULLER (5) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will prove hard to hold out. AERO STREAM (4) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. MESAN DURANT (7) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. Grade 2 placegetter SUPER HOPE (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a 13th over 1400m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Can improve.
