GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Nac Express likely to find the front over Intarsia and Big Timer. INTARSIA (1) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed this line-up and deserves another chance. ARISTOLOCHE (6) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1500m at this track, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MARUKAN RAINBOW (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to bounce back. NAC EXPRESS (9) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
