GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Esplanade, Major Rush and Gleam Star leading the way. GLEAM STAR (3) turned things around last start and scored by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn as public elect over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. WONDER VISIBLE (2) was well held in stiffer grade two back then last time over 1400m at this track was prominent throughout and fought on well to finish second. Finds similar grade here and expected to run well again. KAPARAMIP (8) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Likely to be there at the finish again. ESPLANADE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
