GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Solid pace with Leonino finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LEONINO (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CARLE POMELO (7) finished fifth last time out over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid winning chance. COSMO COLTRANE (10) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he can test this field. KURINO SLUGGER (4) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when seventh over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
