GOING: U

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. SUNRISE HUNTER (10) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just one length from the winner in second over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SORPRESA (3) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1300m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Nice alley and should run well. TONTTU (5) is yet to break through in five runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was fifth over 1300m at this track last time. Has ability and expected to feature. LORD GOSPEL (6) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 1300m at this track. Worth including.
