GOING: S

Class 2 Handicap 1800m

Track: WET   Clouds (Max: 26)    

Solid pace from Orae Hamkkehaja and Taurus Queen fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. HANGANGUI GISANG (11) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track six weeks ago as $1.67 favourite. Steps up in journey today. The one to beat in this line up. ORAE HAMKKEHAJA (3) returns from a spell of nine months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when tenth over 2000m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Best figures should see him run well. MIGHTY CHIP (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1800m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRAY CAT (7) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track last time out. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
