GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Little in the way of pace with no noted leaders on paper. BREAKIN' AWAY (6) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BRIGHT HOSHO (2) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SWINDLE (1) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1200m contest at this track nine days ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. RIC STARK (3) was never in contention last time over 1200m at this track when he finished seventh. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
