GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Vagabond leading from Oicho and Feb Kiranah. DAIRIN WOLF (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Expected to measure up. OICHO (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. SUNRISE HIGHER (9) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MEINER DOUGLAS (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Well placed and can run a better race.
