GOING: G

Race 6 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Fast pace assured with Trips, Golden Ring and Blumengarten leading the charge. BLUMENGARTEN (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1000m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. SPECIAL CHANCE (4) didn't do a bad job to finish 1.5 lengths away in second last start over 1200m here after a win on debut at this track. Major player. SPRINGA FORT (6) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1000m at this track last time. Positive ride expected again and will be in this for a long way. GOLDEN RING (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 3 lengths over 1000m at this track on debut eight weeks ago. Among the top-three contenders.
