GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

Can't see them going very hard with a lack of any real speed horses. PYTHON (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and is one of the leading chances. BOCCA AL LUPO (9) is a five-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. MINNANO YUMEKUN (1) missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 900m at this track, finishing eighth. Anticipating a better run this time. JUICY ORANGE (11) could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 900m at this track. In the mix here.

At the latest run 8th of 12 at this track on April 27 over 900m, 13 len behind Mince Pie with 56kg at $156.30.
