GOING:

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Sundappled, Run Run Martin and High Relief vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. SUNDAPPLED (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a head over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Big chance once again. HIGH RELIEF (3) turned things around last start and scored by 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend as favourite over 1300m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to cope. RUN RUN MARTIN (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing a neck away in second over 1300m at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. KOKI (1) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and trip last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
