GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Divertir has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SUN NOBLE (4) scored at this track last time out with 8 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. SASAYAKI (3) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1400m at this track to make it two wins from three runs this time in. Scored at only try at this trip. Expected to run well again. LUAR (5) finished fifth two runs back at Ohi then improved last time out to score by 7 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. VERT DRAGO (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by one length over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
