GOING: G

Race 10 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Supposed To Kill and Jack Memoriam to take up the running at a genuine tempo. ZEUS BISTY (4) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1000m at this track when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Extra trip a plus so worth another chance. SUPPOSED TO KILL (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to be in the finish. VAYU (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when half a length away in second over 1200m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. MY VENERABLE (8) is a distance specialist who bounced back last start and scored by half a length over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
