Race 4 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Cuenca leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. DEEP KINDS (5) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1400m here last time. Draws to settle a touch closer today and is on the quick turnaround. Can play a leading role. BRICK BARN (1) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CUENCA (8) comes here off a last-start seventh over 1300m at this track. Key player. FUTURE AI (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 10 when beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth at this track over 1300m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
