GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Mad Roulette taking up the running ahead of Jun Firenze and Manno Lightning. KAWATEN MAX (3) placed as favourite last time over 1500m at this track after he had won two races on end. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. YUTO THE ASHIGE (9) failed to run a strong 1500m last start after a close third over 1400m at this track the run prior. Goes well at this shorter journey so looks a leading contender. BAEPSAE (1) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 1500m at this track. Goes well at this journey with two wins from six starts and is one of the prime contenders. MANNO LIGHTNING (4) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1700m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Yet to miss the placings in five starts over this course and distance. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
