GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Expecting No Security to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BONAR TESORO (4) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at today's track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Nicely placed to take this out. SAIKYO SAIKO (1) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fourth over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. CASUAL SPURT (3) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track when he produced a huge finish, making it two minor placings in a row. Backmarker who keeps coming. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RAISE ME UP (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
