GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Metal Metallica probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. METAL METALLICA (3) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at this course and distance after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely drawn to feature in the finish. JUNE QUEST (5) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length at this course and distance after being prominent on the bend. Has his share of talent. May be hard to beat in this suitable race. HANDEN LAURIER (6) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fifth. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. DREAM CHASER (1) has been coming from wide barriers so may do better from the inside draw.
