GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Ballsy leading Tiffany You. KAZU LAPONIAN (1) struggled on the tougher circuit two back then last time appreciated the drop in grade when he bounced back and saluted at this track. Confidence restored and can continue the winning form. STEELOPOLIS (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1300m after being in the firing line all the way. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BALLSY (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1300m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends. KEY SINGER (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see her in the frame.
