GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Red Coral to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. WIN AIM HIGH (3) improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. RED CORAL (6) got home by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Has four wins here. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and expected to be in the finish. METEOR SWARM (7) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Major player on best form. DARK OF THE NIGHT (1) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. Solid top-three prospects.
