GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Life Is Money to take up the running with Pick Up Luck and Shodan Begin close at hand. NORI MOANIN (5) finished second last time out over 1300m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. LIFE IS MONEY (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 900m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. HORN BUFFALO (6) finished third last start over 1300m at this track to make it two minor placings from six runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this course. Sure to be about the money again. PICK UP LUCK (11) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1300m at this track when well in the market. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. In the mix.
