GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

A keen contest with T M Sinister and A Shin Gluck leading from Kashino Lucas. TAIKI MAXWELL (2) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 1400m at this track last time. Same rider aboard and is a top chance. CHEERING SONG (1) started at $2.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to make amends. T M SINISTER (7) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Has his share of ability. In the mix. HECTOPASCAL (6) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by one length at this track and trip last start to maintain her good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
