GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Do The Catch and Cresco Thunder leading the way over A Shin Elan. DO THE CATCH (4) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 7 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. This looks well within her grasp. A SHIN ELAN (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track. Has three wins here and can play a major role. CRESCO THUNDER (8) started at $3.20 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1400m here. Best figures measure up and can bounce back. LOVELY SIGN (7) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track to add to some fine recent form. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
