GOING: G

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Pace only fair with Ortu Solis rolling to the lead ahead of Not In The Eye and Meisho Benibana. NOT IN THE EYE (8) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1200m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is worth serious consideration. ORTU SOLIS (4) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter and expected to be prominent. KERAUNOS KAZU (7) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1500m at this track. All set to run well. FORCE BIO (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten 3 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge.

The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at this track on April 1 over 1200m, 7 len behind Pantanal carrying 56kg at $130.10. Gets the inside stall so deserves respect.
