GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Cotovia crossing from the outside gate. MANNO LIGHTNING (10) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Leading contender. WIN RISE (7) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1700m at this track last time out. Best form puts him right in this. YEP YEP YEP (9) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth over 920m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time out in trip. BOLD RAI (3) improved sharply last time out to score by half a length over 1700m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
