GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track:      

Stay Classy and Stanley to take it up. AKARI RICKY (4) showed little early speed last start then came with a powerful run to finish third over 1600m at this track. Will prove tough to stop. STANLEY (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1400m, beaten half a length. Mikio Fujiwara who has nine wins when partnering stays on. Can contest. STAY CLASSY (1) got a long way back when sixth over 1580m at this track two weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. GALWAY GIRL (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
