GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Joy Smiley and Ashaka Luke matching motors. ASHAKA LUKE (10) was safely held in a tougher race two starts back then found an easier contest last time and led throughout to score over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it now. JOY SMILEY (11) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1300m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. In the mix. FLYING MONKEY (7) performed above expectations last time over 1300m at this track, getting the prize by a head. Big chance to repeat the feat. BRIKSDAL (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for him.
