GOING: D

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Pyro's Bridge or Wood Bruni likely to take up the running. PYRO'S BRIDGE (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Should park just off the speed. Likely to feature. O K MINERVA (1) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Has the ability to take this out. YLAMAA (3) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when seventh at this track over 1400m. Won't find this as tough and is perfectly placed to score. FIRECRACKER (4) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
