GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Shelterbelt and M T Waltz will likely set the pace. SHELTERBELT (3) has accrued three minor placings from three runs this campaign. 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 900m at this track. Well placed and can find winning ways. DAWN COSMO (2) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fifth. Should be doing her best work late. ODEN OPAL (7) settled well back then motored home to score by 3 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RA'S AL'AYN (6) spotted them a big start last time out and could only manage to finish ninth over 1500m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late and must be respected.
