GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Slick pace with Bisc Wizard finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BALMY WEATHER (4) won last start over 1400m at this track, making it three victories from five appearances this campaign. Hard to beat again. TEIKOKU (9) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 12 over 1500m when he got home by 2.5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. BISC WIZARD (7) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 2 lengths over this trip. Form this track is hard to knock with eight wins from 18 starts. One of the main contenders. ILLUMINATOR (10) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last time out when second over 1500m at this track. Sure to run well.
