GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Strong tempo to be established by Zodiac Reve, Master Plan and Friend Sweep. HELIAMPHORA (7) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BELLWOOD ONE (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. WARA (2) showed little early dash last start but found the line strongly to get up for third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over this course and distance. Should feature in the finish again. ZODIAC REVE (4) held on well to finish second last time out over 1200m at this track after leading for much of the way. Can feature in the finish.
