GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Noble Festa leading from Infini Wraith and Re Go To. WONDER GUARNERI (8) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NOBLE FESTA (3) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Expected to go close. INFINI WRAITH (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FEEL HAPPINESS (2) is back at the races for the first time since November 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Has to be respected.
