GOING:

Race 11 1580m

Track:      

Slick pace with Wisteria Bell finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. CONSTRUCTION (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 9 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. A SHIN AZALEA (3) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. WIN POLARIS (4) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2 length win at this track over 1400m. Will give a sight again. CARTHUSIAN (5) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has her share of talent, one of main chances.
