GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Goodhumour taking charge. LORD STROM (9) was successful last start over 1600m at this track, getting home by 3 lengths to make it three wins in a row. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LORD MIDNIGHT (7) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 1600m. Will prove very tough to beat. GRAND BONHEUR (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m here. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. ROYS PEAK (2) held on well to finish second last time out over 1600m at this track after leading for much of the way. Can feature in the finish.
