GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Cheerful Voice to take charge ahead of Queen Card at a strong tempo. CHEERFUL VOICE (10) was prominent from the outset when third over 1600m at this track last time out. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Leading contender. RAILGUN (7) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth, only beaten 1.1 lengths, over this journey at this track. Should be doing best work late. PENSEE (11) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.7 lengths. In the mix. KURIKOMA (5) improved last start when second up from a break, finishing 0.8 lengths adrift in fourth over 1600m at this track. Ready to peak.
