GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Corpus Christi to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. CORPUS CHRISTI (7) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 30 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RYUNO RED EYE (6) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.5 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Well-placed and should be tough to rein in again. NIGHT AWAY (1) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. LONG SUCCESSION (8) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
