GOING:

Race 10 920m

Track:      

Silk Needle is expected to lead at a keen tempo. ISAIAS (4) started favourite last time out over 920m at this track but found one better, making it three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Will be tough to beat. SILK NEEDLE (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1700m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. QUINTARELLI (8) could only manage eighth last start over 1700m at this track but overall form here strong boasting six wins from 12 starts. Should be involved in the finish. DAVAY GLASNOST (6) is going well. Great long term record with 25 minor placings from 39 starts this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
