GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

A strong tempo is assured with Wonderful Guy and Gortys leading the charge. GORTYS (1) was well in commission last start over 1500m at this track when seventh. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Expected to go very well. WONDERFUL GUY (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. TOUCH THE CEILING (6) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fifth last time out over 1500m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances. YODONO STORY (8) latest effort was a seventh over 1400m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Expect he will make amends.
