GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Jasper Eagle and Online Boss can be prominent. PINK VENOM (8) was successful last start over 1200m at this track, getting home by 1.5 lengths to make it three wins in a row. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. ONLINE BOSS (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.5 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TOKAI ETOILE (4) settled well back then sprouted wings to score by 0.8 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. JUBILEE HEAD (3) was always well out of his ground when sixth over 1200m at this track six weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects.
