GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace likely with Lord Lightning prominent along with Himarin crossing from an outside gate. HIMARIN (12) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. LORD LIGHTNING (2) went fast early over 1400m at this track last time and dug deep to score by half a length. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. ARDITO CRY (11) finished seventh over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Backmarker who keeps coming. One to consider. GARO (8) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when fifth over 820m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
