GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Kitano Martini and Riko Mauler possess good early speed. TOP LEGEND (11) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by one length over 1200m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is clearly the one they have to beat. FORTY STAR (6) boxed on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten half a length as favourite. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. RIKO MAULER (2) held on well to finish third last time out over 1200m at this track after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and expected to feature again. DAIYAME (4) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them.
