GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Regolith and Shishino Heart pressing for the lead. DERMA GARNET (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Major player. SCHLEIFE (4) finished 11th last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Backmarker who gets home hard and in the mix. REGOLITH (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. SHISHINO HEART (7) last raced on May 17 when fifth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can feature.
