GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Maharaja taking up the running ahead of Star Of Sky and Geopark Moon. LEO SOLDIER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. AYDIN LOVER (1) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 14 lengths into tenth over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLAME CAT (3) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. GEOPARK MOON (6) has not appeared since she finished third on debut over 1000m at this track on November 6. Should run very well.
