GOING: G

Race 10 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Pace only fair with Lilabad rolling to the lead ahead of Leo Spark and Courechouse. LILABAD (2) was a narrow winner by 0.8 lengths at this track two back then second at this track last time. Down in the weights on last run. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is sure to run well. GREEN DIAL (6) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1600m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey, including three wins. Likely to feature. MACHT (7) has found the frame at both starts this prep, the latest when third over 1600m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. BRAVE OUT (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1600m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
