GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of early pressure with Lacus Gaudii, All Time High and Sunny Weather leading the charge. ALL TIME HIGH (8) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and will be a tough nut to crack again. IVERAGH (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a head over 1400m at this track. Nicely drawn and she is worth including. LACUS GAUDII (4) finished out of the money when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. STREET JAGUAR (7) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1700m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
