GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Cracking pace early with Oscar Winner, Bella Strega and Alfajor leading the charge. PIENA KITE (1) scored here two starts ago then last time out found a couple better over 1300m at this track. Terrific chance to return to winning form. OSCAR WINNER (2) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a head after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again. RATTRAPANTE (5) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Deserves another chance on best form. ALFAJOR (4) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by one length over 1400m at this circuit. Major player.
