GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Luna Teeth taking up the running ahead of Intruder and Musculation. INTRUDER (10) finished 2.25 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1000m at this track two weeks ago as $2.7 favourite. Steps up in journey today and look for a bold run. BELIEVE THE WEST (7) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1200m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a tougher race but can feature. MUSCULATION (8) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on July 15. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. KANESHO RUSH (2) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing back in fifth over 1200m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
