GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

No place for the faint-hearted with Pierre Oregon and Icarus Cafe getting along early. PIERRE OREGON (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1000m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. He is a very progressive type who will only be fitter second up. On top again. ICARUS CAFE (5) was quickly into stride over 1200m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 2 lengths. Best figures measure up and he is the main threat to the top pick, if there is one. SECRET LOGO (10) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. HONEYBERRY (6) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up effort. Looks well placed so expect another big run in a very competitive lineup.
