GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with El Mirage likely to find the front over Monster and Oe Active. MONSTER (9) fine effort last start when he finished a close second at this track over 1400m. Expected to feature. KINSHO WORLD (5) ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner. EL MIRAGE (7) finished out of the money when sixth in an 820m contest at this track two weeks ago. Better than recent form suggests and he can improve sharply. MAPLE DREFONG (2) can do better than last start at this track and can contest today.
