GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Expecting O K Thunder to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ARC PREMIER (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. O K THUNDER (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in third over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ARDOUR GROW (3) finished 7 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. REI GRACE (2) is progressing well this preparation, getting the job done by 3 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
