GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Trinity Knot likely to find the front over Lux Rampage and A Shin Big Boss. A SHIN BIG BOSS (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1230m after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. LUX RAMPAGE (2) fought on for third last start over 820m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be right there at the finish. TRINITY KNOT (1) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1230m at this track. Can make his presence felt. GREEN THEATER (3) should improve with the first-up run out of the way. Keep safe.
