GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Helden Sieg and Backdoor leading the charge. HELDEN SIEG (7) went fast early over 1300m at this track last time and dug deep to score by a head. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MAGGIE'S MISSION (10) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 2 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KASHINO MERCURY (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when she made late ground but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TUNA ANDIE (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 10 lengths over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
