GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Pace only fair with Blaaveis rolling to the lead ahead of True Knight and Dream Panja. TRUE KNIGHT (6) bounced back last start and scored by a nose over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. LAVEY (7) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when third over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLAAVEIS (1) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by a head over today's journey at this track on April 12. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and seven minor placings from 14 runs. Should be involved in the finish. SANEI CANNON (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into seventh. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by a head at this track April 12 over 1600m defeating Aru Kanae carrying 56kg at $4.80. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on March 29 over 1600m, 3 len behind Tirage carrying 56kg at $4. Great chance to win with the aid of the inside stall.
