GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Oreno Aiba. DEAD VLEI (7) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten a long neck, over 1400m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Among the leading chances. FELSITE (9) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 4 lengths over this trip. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. A bold showing is likely. SEXY COMMANDO (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten a neck after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ORENO AIBA (3) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
