GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Maharaja is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. RYUNO LEGACY (3) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at this track over 1500m, beaten 7 lengths. Jumps from a far better gate this time around. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. BRIGHTIA MER (9) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. MAHARAJA (11) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when seventh in a 1200m contest at this track five weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Better placed now. BUBBLY HERO (12) was safely held on debut over 1200m at this track last start, finishing seventh and beaten 34 lengths. Capable of a much better performance.
