GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Al Qudra. SCHLOSS (3) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn as public elect over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LONGWOOD (4) did little and finished 12 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. KURINO SUCCESS (1) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ENERGEIA (7) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 13 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Sure to be competitive.
