GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Bachelo Rex leading the way. BACHELO REX (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished third over 1400m at this track. Looks ready to win and expected to go close. BAIA SPECTER (4) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked in ninth over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a suitable race. VICTORY KNIGHT (6) is back at the races for the first time since September 17. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Sonoda. One to consider fresh. STEINER (5) last start finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Can hit the frame with the right run.
