GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Jasmine probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. POD SOL (4) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it three straight wins, scoring by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. JASMINE (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in second over 1400m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to take this out. BOLD POLICY (3) was prominent into the straight when resuming last start but weakened to finish tenth over 1500m at this track. Must be respected. ORIENTAL BOY (6) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1500m at this track at his latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at this track on August 5 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Afrock with 54kg at $5.30. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track on July 7 over 1400m, 3 len behind Any Thunder with 54kg at $7.60. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside draw.
