GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Pace should be on from the outset with Oaken, Meiner Alauda and Kikuno Cruijff going hard, closely attended by Suzu Valette. SUZU VALETTE (9) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed and is a leading contender. MEINER ALAUDA (4) finished fourth last start over 1700m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Well placed and expected to feature. SUNRISE TITAN (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m here. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CLOUDBOW (1) was fourth in a 1230m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to turn things around.
