GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Madeini Suru and King Furioso pressing forward with Rainbow Polaris not far away. KING FURIOSO (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. He's knocking on the door of another victory and he looks to have found a suitable race today. RAINBOW POLARIS (6) started at $7.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1200m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GRUAGACH (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 19. Scored over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and three placings from seven runs. One to consider. MADEINI SURU (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
