GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Slick pace with Chuwa Spring finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. STANLEY (1) added to his fine record when second over 1600m at this track at the last run before going for a break on February 6. Has a strong first-up record with two wins from four runs and is expected to go very well. CHUWA SPRING (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Fitter and rates a danger. KAZU ORVAL (5) going well this prep but did let favourite backers down last time when second over 1400m at this track. Overdue and gets his chance. BEST FLOWER (9) was below best form last start when sixth over 1600m at this track. Rates well so don't underestimate.
