GOING:

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Gray Storm. GRAY STORM (12) has scored at his last four starts, most recently by 30 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from four runs. Sure to go well again. FULL OF PRAISE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 1400m at this track. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Another big run is on the cards. BOB'S YER UNCLE (11) finished second last start over 1600m at this track. Can give this a shake. BRAVE TRY (4) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
