GOING: S

Race 12 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Abundant pace from Another Mate, Jun Harvest and Brillant Aube vying for the lead with Aranjuez Rose on their backs. JUN HARVEST (6) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1500m at this track last start to make it three straight. Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish again. ANOTHER MATE (8) handy filly who is racing well, including a solid second last start over 1500m at this track. Key runner in this line-up. SEVEN ONE BIO (3) turned things around last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. A repeat of the latest will see him hard to hold out. BIG DAY MAKE (11) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from four appearances this preparation, finishing third most recently over 1600m at this track. Shapes as one to consider.
