GOING:

Race 1 1600m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Shank Doll and Konig Blut battling for the lead. SHANK DOLL (6) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Major player. KONIG BLUT (2) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Well placed and can take this out. AZIONE (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1600m at this track last time. Has found the frame at all five visits to this track, including a win. Key contender. AVERY (10) honest galloper who wasn’t far away last start when third over 1600m at this track. Among the winning hopes.
