GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

Pod Leo to boot up on the fence to join Forza and Supposed To Kill in a keen contest through the early stages. HIGH GOOD POWER (11) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for fourth over 1200m at this track. Sure to prove tough to hold out. SUPPOSED TO KILL (9) scored by 0.8 lengths last start over this journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins and five placings. Definite winning hope. Z SWORD (15) started at $6.50 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends. HECTOPASCAL (7) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 7 lengths. In the mix.
