GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Karyn Heart possessing enough dash to find the front. BELIEVE THE WEST (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Looks the testing material again. TELEMACHUS (7) settled back before coming home strongly to score as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. DIVING CATCH (11) improved last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Expect another big run. KARYN HEART (5) was sixth in a 1200m contest at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
