GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Run Run Martin and Sri Devi leading the way. SCHWARZ NAGA (5) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from five outings. Big chance once again. RUN RUN MARTIN (6) has been racing in great heart with four top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1300m at this track when she was handy all the way. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. WINNING THE SOUL (9) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1750m at this track. Anticipating a big run again. MARRON DREAM (2) placed two back then last time out was fourth over 1300m at this track. Can feature with the right run.
