GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Expecting a keen tempo with Aspro Gaia set alight, joined by North and Derma Ganymede up front. NORTH (1) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. SALT CHANCE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fourth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAGANO POSTMAN (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1500m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. MEDIA PUNTA (9) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1500m at this track. One to watch for in the closing stages.
