GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Satono Rush should find the front with Don Kronos and Key Singer on his heels. SATONO RUSH (3) held on well to finish third last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. DON KRONOS (9) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Likely to feature. GOLD PLAY (2) performed well last time at this track, finishing third at the end of 1400m. In the mix. WIN LIBERALE (8) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
