GOING:

Race 1 1580m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Purpose Point leading the way. PURPOSE POINT (7) improved sharply with success as favourite over 800m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TRIXI (6) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a string of minor placings over 1400m at this track. Could make a winning return. TERUKEN REN GRAY (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Fresh winner three back. Right in the contest. WING COMMANDER (5) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish sixth. May be worth another chance.
