GOING: S

Race 12 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Forza, Pod Leo and Bel Mare Minoru to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. NISHINO LANA (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KEN MAXIM (12) settled well back and turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1200m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SCISSORHANDS (13) is knocking on the door after just missing last time over 1200m at this track. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. LIVE CRACKER (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
