GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

Maharaja and Wonder Journey possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. WONDER JOURNEY (10) has not raced since being well supported on his debut back on December 12 when he finished fourth over 1000m at this track. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. MAHARAJA (8) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1200m here last time. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. FROM YESTERDAY (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. FLAME CAT (9) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track when he did his best work late, beaten 5 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
