GOING:

Race 1 1600m

Track:      

Ocea Top Gun has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. OCEA TOP GUN (1) battled on well to hold second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths as favourite. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUNRISE GRIT (2) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1300m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GHOST (7) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1600m, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Form here at this journey is very good with two wins from four runs. Should be competitive. MEISHO ELEGY (5) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1300m at this track. Hard to leave out.
