GOING: M

Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 18)   True  

Expecting Ssoara Star to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SSOARA STAR (2) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths away in third last time over 1200m at this track. Has a decent record at this track. Leading contender. BREEDO TROPHY (5) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.3 lengths. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. SMART TAKE (11) is fresh from a win last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths at this track over 1200m. Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Winning claims on her best figures. RAON NOTHERN DANCE (8) was safely held last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. May appreciate the shorter trip this time around. Forgive the last effort; major player.
