GOING: S

Race 1 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Solid pace with Zarina Iran finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. THE NATURE (11) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1000m at this track. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw and should be in the finish again. FRANKIN ROSE (9) ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Can play a major role. KANETOSHI THEMIS (12) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Key runner. RIPE TRAUM (6) latest effort was a fifth over 1000m at this track. Won't find this as tough and is worth consideration here.

Racing well. At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at this track on May 21 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Chamo carrying 55kg at $17.80. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at this track on May 8 over 1000m, 3 len behind Will Too Well with 55kg at $6.40. Progressing well. Has strong claims.
