GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

In the absence of noted leaders, Buy And Hold and Shoken Black may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. BUY AND HOLD (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways. AMYGDALA (8) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. RIKO PHOENIX (2) finished adrift in eighth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to turn things around. SASUKE PETAL (4) finished second last start over 1500m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
