GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Marino Lowe possessing enough dash to find the front. BRIGHTIA MER (5) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. MARINO LOWE (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading for most of the way before fading late to finish fourth over 1200m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. GOD BROWN (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a nose, over 1200m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be picking them up late. KURA BAEL (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1200m. Best figures measure up nicely. Capable of a strong performance.
