GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1400m

Track: HEAVY   Rain (Max: 19)    

Slick tempo assured from Monster Dragon and Sky Grit leading the charge. SKY GRIT (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MONSTER DRAGON (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 8 lengths into third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GRAY QUEEN (4) improved last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DOCTOR LEO (11) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
