GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Shkmeruli and Meiner Ilargi taking up the running over Kazu Laureato. MEINER ILARGI (8) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he can make amends. JO PYRO RIGHT (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHKMERULI (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. DARMSTADT (9) finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
