GOING:

Race 5 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Winter Cabin heading them off. LIGAND (6) improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten only a nose after being in contention on the turn. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. LEMON SOUR (8) broke through for her maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Jumps from a wide draw but she is definitely worth including. CASTOR (2) got the prize two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1700m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. WINTER CABIN (5) raced on the pace over 1200m at this track last time and went on to win by 7 lengths. Not to be discounted.
