GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with La Vita E Bella finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. T M FELLOW (1) went fast early over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by one length. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. Grade 1 placegetter T M SOUTH DAN (9) is a distance specialist who was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. KING CAVIAR (2) went forward last start over 900m at this track and held on well for second. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DAIRIN WOLF (6) settled well back from a good draw last time before closing well to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances.
