GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Smile Genius, Ric To Memma and Tiffany Ice can take up forward spots. RIC TO MEMMA (5) is backing up seven days after finishing second over 1200m at this track. Nice run last time and should be in the finish again. BARI BLACK (7) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when fourth. Deserves another chance. TIFFANY ICE (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. SMILE GENIUS (2) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed to atone.
