GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

From a wide gate Masa Wood Tail has the speed to cross and lead a low-pressure affair. DAORADAORA (12) turned in a fine effort to score by 5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. FOR BEROUL (5) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Has the ability to find the winners' list. POD CONTI (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by one length over 1600m. Record here is impressive with four wins from six starts. Expected to run well. POSITIVITY (4) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 11 lengths back in 11th. Finds a nice race and can atone.
