GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track:      

Tsumo has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. HAPPY RUNNA (1) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1750m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. LITTLE IDOL (10) bounced back last start and got the job done by half a length after being prominent at the turn over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. TSUMO (9) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over a similar trip here. Well placed and is among the key chances. FINAL SWORD (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1750m at this track last time out. Hard to fault of late and deserves genuine consideration.
