GOING:

Race 4 1230m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Grass Vigor leading the way. UMA PYOI (4) impressed when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing fourth at the end of 1400m. Strips fitter and is well-placed to take this out. WORLD PEKO (5) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 820m at this track. Out in trip and nicely placed to make amends. GRASS VIGOR (6) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today and has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. GARO (7) missed the frame last start when fourth over 820m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
