GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Variabile heading them off. PUKETTI (5) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. MATCHAN FIGHT (6) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track when he worked home in great style, making it two minor placings in a row. Backmarker who gets home hard. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. VARIABILE (9) finished second last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and eight minor placings from 10 runs. Winning claims. HIRUNO MAAS (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. Well placed to find some form.
