GOING:

Race 4 1800m

Track:      

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Moon Of The Ace a potential leader. MOON OF THE ACE (5) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1750m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Sure to run well. AKRASIA (2) got well back over 1750m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing eighth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. GOLD HIGHER (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth over 1300m at this track. Will strip fitter and can find peak form this time. INTENSE REFLET (4) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a sixth over 1750m at this track. Can feature on best.
