GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Pace strong with Bachelo Rex and Kurino Awesome leading with Snowday nearby. BACHELO REX (10) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Sure to go well. SNOWDAY (12) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering three minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. KURINO AWESOME (4) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WORKING ASSET (2) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1700m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
