GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Fox Sleep and Neo Hughes pressing for the lead with Sanono Speed and Avery close at hand. EARTH RISER (6) saluted here two runs ago but missed the frame last time out when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths after working home well. Has the talent to find the winners' list again. WATER LEMON (9) was always well out of his ground when eighth over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and worth another chance. AVERY (7) got a long way back when tenth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Better than that run suggests and suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RYUNOSU (2) lines up on the back of an eighth over 1600m at this track. A better showing is expected.
