GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Piedra Aguila. CAFE DYNASTY (3) is going well at the moment, with placings in his last three runs, most recently finishing third over 1400m at this track. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PIEDRA AGUILA (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by an impressive 30 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VICTOR BAROWS (2) handy gelding who continued his winning ways last start, showing good pace from the outset to salute over 1400m at this track. Going well and can keep the ball rolling. ICE MOON (8) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth here over 1500m. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.

Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Ryuno Chacha carrying 56kg at $14.60. Rates highly. Big chance.

Useful entire. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 30 len at this track April 9 over 1500m defeating Beach Positive with 56kg at $2.50. The race before that 9th of 13 at Ohi on March 1 over 1600m, 16 len behind Longing Nice carrying 56kg at $107.50. This is well within his grasp.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 5th of 12 at this track on March 11 over 1500m, 9 len behind H N Bumpy with 54kg at $22.70. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track on April 2 over 1400m, 8 len behind Takara Arthur with 54kg at $4.60. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
