A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1L adrift in third over 1200m at this track. Should be winding up late again. BRUKO (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at today's track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. WIND AVENUE (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GRELL (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.1 lengths over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
