GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Lord Immortal. GRAY STORM (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 30 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. BOB'S YER UNCLE (9) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 1400m at this track to make it two in a row. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Likely to feature. WIN YOUR SONG (7) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on April 5 over 1400m when he got home by one length. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MAIDO OKINI (6) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track. Should be winding up late again.
