GOING:

Race 10 2000m

Track:      

Without a noted leader engaged High Upgrade may cross and take it up. SEKITOBA SHOES (8) has been kept fresh since she resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1600m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to run well again. Can make it back-to-back wins. FIRST MATE (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. ONLY USED (13) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 1.75 lengths last start over this course and distance. Solid prospects again. REAL MUHAMMAD (12) last appeared when he got the cash over 1800m at this track on December 3. Definite top-three chance.
