GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Blistering early pace from Switchblade, Sumisei Kenshin and Big Cook taking each other on, with a few others in keen pursuit. BIG COOK (5) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 920m at this track. Looks well-placed and he can go on with it. ROCK MAJESTY (3) was well fancied last start over 920m at this track when second. Extra trip is important. Worth another chance. SWITCHBLADE (1) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 900m at this track. Shows ability and can play a major role again. POMERANIAN GOD (8) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished fourth over 920m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
