GOING:

Race 10 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Will Altar leading the way. EARTH J SONTE (3) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 1600m at this track. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. REAL (9) finished tenth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only a neck. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. WILL ALTAR (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth after starting at $2.50. Likely improver with strong prospects. MUSCULATION (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
