GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track: DIRT      

Yamanin Rabona should lead at a keen tempo. ECORO DRAGOON (7) finished last campaign in honest form with back to back placings and returns here following a four months break. Form good for this and looks set to run well. YAMANIN RABONA (10) ran well below best last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths in fourth place when jumping at $5.40. Gets into a good spot here. FOLLOW YOUR HEART (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time over 1300m at this track when third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Still a maiden at the trip but has run well each time placing at all four starts and shapes as one to consider. GIUSEPPE LEO (5) raced below best at last run when seventh over 1400m at Sonoda and returns from a six months break. Backmarker who gets home hard and looks to have solid claims.
