GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Backpack to take up the running with Smart Tempest and Win Vertex close at hand. BACKPACK (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in third over 1800m at this track. Has the class to play a significant role. WIN VERTEX (3) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1400m at this track on April 14. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. SABUNO CHANCE (6) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SMART TEMPEST (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Must be respected.
