GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Orion Heart and Yuto The Ashige leading from Norinori Brillante. NORINORI BRILLANTE (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $2.70. Nicely placed to turn things around. ORION HEART (8) finished eighth last time out over 1400m at this track three weeks ago as $2.7 favourite. Steps up in journey today and can atone. WILD HUNTER (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third at the end of 1500m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. COTOVIA (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Will be putting in the big strides late again and can feature.
