GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong tempo with True Barows, Meiner Citrus and Roys Peak going forward ahead of Danon Justice and Win Wurde. MEINER CITRUS (6) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a ninth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. ROCKY THUNDER (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth over 1300m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. TRUE BAROWS (7) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at this track, finishing eighth after starting a $5 chance. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. NIXON TESORO (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 11th over 1300m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
