GOING: G

Maiden Race 2400m

Track:      

Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. JOY BOY (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 2400m at this track. Has ability and is expected to run well again. SEKITOBA SHOES (8) finished 14th on debut then improved last start when she worked home well but found one better over 2400m at this track, beaten a neck. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PREDESTINARE (10) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 2200m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to stop. G T TOSHI O (11) finished third last time over 2400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with solid claims.
