GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Sugar Stone and Ivy Kirari have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. KING SPADE (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a neck over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Can measure up again. SUGAR STONE (5) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the bend at this track, finishing fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. IVY KIRARI (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. COURAGE COURIR (8) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Can feature in the finish.
