GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Smart Sonic leading from Helena Universe and Metcha Sasu. HELENA UNIVERSE (9) is a consistent filly who is generally about the mark. Good effort when third last start at this track over 1500m. Looks very tough to beat here. DREAM GLOW (7) ran a better race and finished fifth last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and is worth another chance. METCHA SASU (8) finished second two runs back but was less effective last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in ninth. Can bounce back. SMART SONIC (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
