GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Astral Pocket to lead Fulgor at just a moderate tempo. SMILE MARK (10) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Nicely placed to score once again. YOIDEWA NAIKA (2) settled well back before finishing 4 lengths adrift in fifth over 1300m at this track last time. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. ASTRAL POCKET (1) finished fourth last start over 1300m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will give backers a sight. GUNNEL (9) drifted back from his wide draw last time then hit the line hard to finish second at this track over 1300m. One of the main contenders.

The run before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 12 at this track on March 23 over 1400m, 6 len behind Alfajor carrying 54kg at $2.20. Won’t spend a cent in the run from the inside draw. Good each-way hope.
