GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Regnum, Angel Snow and High Mobility vying for the lead with Discerning on their backs. DISCERNING (1) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 4 lengths at today's track and trip last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds an easier assignment and can continue the winning form. REGNUM (11) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Put together four wins prior to the break, the latest at this track over 1600m. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and looks a top chance. ANGEL SNOW (2) went forward last start over 1300m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Sure to run well. NAMURA TEDDIE (3) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track. Can bounce back.

Going well. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 4 len win at this track May 17 over 1400m defeating Reward Merlin with 57kg at $3.30. The run before that led but faded 3rd of 9 at this track on May 3 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Namura Teddie with 56kg at $1.80. An inside draw is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
