GOING:

Race 11 2100m

Track:      

Loads of pressure, primarily from Marine Dhun Dhun, Rikea Marron and Weathercock. RIKEA MARRON (9) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has raced seven times here and has never missed the frame. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. NAMIDANO KISS (3) scored first up at this track then finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth over 2000m at this track. Fitter for recent racing so he is among the winning hopes. MARINE DHUN DHUN (10) finished 3 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1700m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at 14 of 25 starts. Should be competitive. WEATHERCOCK (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1700m at this track. Key hope.
