GOING:

Race 1 920m

Track:      

Not much gate speed on show enabling Astral Flare to roll to the front. No designated leader and Astral Flare may find himself in front. ASTRAL FLARE (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 920m at this track, finishing second. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. HORIZON BLUE (1) finished out of the money when sixth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver. CARILLON BELL (2) ran a better race and finished sixth last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and looks a place hope. WIN FOR YOU (7) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start when second-up from a spell, finishing ninth over 1500m at this track. Look for an improved run here.
