GOING: G

Race 12 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. LASER SHOW (7) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 1200m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BELLWOOD ONE (8) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MASTER PLAN (9) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from 22 starts at this circuit. Ready to go a couple better. HELIAMPHORA (6) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1200m here last time. Warrants plenty of respect.
