GOING: G

Race 10 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Haikarasan to take up the running with Una Volta and Yamawake close at hand. HAIKARASAN (2) has been racing well this prep, scoring last start over 1200m at this track to make it two wins from three runs this time in. Has been in the top three at all seven starts here, including three wins. Likely to feature. YAMAWAKE (11) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KEIAI WHAKAPONO (8) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Nicely placed to atone. SILVER MIRAGE (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track over 1200m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
