GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Lack of early speed means Leo Bombaye could find the lead. BEAR BELIEVE (7) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 1400m here last time. Can easily finish right over the top of these. STAR DRUMMER (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention when seventh over 1000m at this track a week ago. Ideally placed and looks poised to bounce back to form. Can give this a mighty shake. CALZETTA (2) is backing up a week after finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (3) finished in fifth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Likely to be thereabouts.
