GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Special Sunday. SPECIAL SUNDAY (9) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. VOGUE ALTAIR (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Is a winner at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. BRICK BARN (1) lines up on the back of a 8 length fourth over 1600m at this track. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from seven starts. Right in the contest. PRIMA DEL NORD (2) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1600m at this track. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at this track over 1400m. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
