GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Tamaruka taking charge. TAMARUKA (8) has raced twice. Was fifth on debut then clocked in third last time out over 1300m at this track. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Heading in the right direction and looks the one to beat. HOT ROD STAR (9) improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement and is among the top chances. KANADERU LAKEN (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CURRERE GIRL (2) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1300m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
