GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Ryuno Hail, North Hamanasu and Warp Engine. RYUNO HAIL (1) added to the good form when he went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1600m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. TAIKI COURAGE (8) added to a string of runner-up results last start when he found one better over 1600m at this track. Deserves a win and has the ability to test this field. WARP ENGINE (11) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Record here is good with three wins from nine starts. Likely to be competitive. GAMBANTEINN (9) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, getting the prize by 3 lengths. Can be handy despite the tricky draw so could feature in the finish.
