GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Meisho Gigas and Moriden Arrow battling for the lead. LAPLACE (4) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten a head. Likely improver with winning claims. MORIDEN ARROW (10) is struggling to break through, recording another minor placing last start when third over 1600m at this track. Has a solid record at this shorter journey. Expected to be in the finish. GALAPAGOS (9) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 4 lengths at today's track and trip when first-up from a spell last time out. Going up a level this time but he can win again. BLADE KING (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 16 lengths away in ninth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on April 5 over 1400m, head behind Animal Boss carrying 57kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track March 23 over 1400m defeating Danon Flare carrying 56kg at $1.40. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside gate.

Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Metus carrying 57kg at $49.10. The race before that struggled in the run home; 7th of 10 at this track on April 5 over 1400m, 6 len behind Animal Boss with 57kg at $131. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
