GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Smile Brocken, T M Doremi Run and G T Noble to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. G T NOBLE (1) is progressive and looked good in winning her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 2.5 lengths. Has the inside gate and she should be in the finish. SMILE BROCKEN (5) kicked off this prep with a win two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring over 1400m at this track. Looks to have plenty of upside so could go on with it. SATOMINO MARIA (3) started at $2.40 last time and ran below expectations but placed in the previous two runs so is capable of much better. WARP ENGINE (10) is better than she has shown of late. No surprise to see her in the mix.
