GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Wrapping Box should lead at a slick tempo. NAMURA EN (11) met with support but found one better last time out over 820m at this track, beaten just a neck. Expected to feature prominently again. SPYWARE (1) fine effort last start when he finished a close second at this track over 820m. Aided by the rails draw. Winning chance. MEISHO KORAN (8) was narrowly beaten into second when second up last start at this track over 820m. Should be nearing her peak at this stage of the campaign and can produce a winning run here. SHINING GIFT (5) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see him in the frame.
