GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Sharp Mustang leading from Divertision and Presto Arthur. SHARP MUSTANG (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with six wins and two minor placings from eight outings. Sure to go well again. SILENT BLACK (6) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. PRESTO ARTHUR (2) was in contention on the corner but turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1600m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DURO AVANTI (1) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
