GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

From wide out Wonder Visible can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. WONDER VISIBLE (10) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. SUN ELSA (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HAPPY MONSTER (5) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago over 1230m at this track. One to consider. T K VINO (12) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
