GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Grand Centre is expected to cross from a wide gate and lead. MAROSO (5) was a strong winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths and making it two on end. Can continue the winning run. GRAND CENTRE (11) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1230m at this track after being in contention all the way. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Nicely placed to find winning ways. T O PERSONAL (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1230m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. T K LINO (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.5 lengths back in fourth over 1230m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
