GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Smart Allister. SMART ALLISTER (8) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Key runner. ROYAL DANCE (4) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1300m at this track. Can make a big impact. S K DANDY (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing ninth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. AKIYAN (7) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1300m at this track. Anticipating a better performance.
