GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Speed assured from Reggae Punch, Kenzan and Josho Make pressing on ahead of Euryops Yellow. REGGAE PUNCH (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she is a leading contender. JOSHO MAKE (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. EURYOPS YELLOW (3) was safely held in tougher grade two back then appreciated the easier grade last time when second over 1300m at this track. Rates well in this company and looks a definite winning hope on best form. KENZAN (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing ninth and beaten 21 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
