GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Win Primus and Metal Heart look to take it up. METAL HEART (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a head over today's trip at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and four placings. Top chance. WIN PRIMUS (1) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GRASS FLAG (9) was below his best last start when beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1500m at this track. Generally goes well here. One of the contenders. SYMBOL THE SUN (2) was beaten 7 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
