GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Crack Of Dawn and Echt Stahl showing out along with Augenblick working over. NOW'S THE TIME (10) met with solid support last start over 1600m at this track when second. Rates highly and is expected to atone. AUGENBLICK (12) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1600m. Has a good record at this track with two wins and six minor placings. Best form puts him right in this. CRACK OF DAWN (3) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing third over 1400m at this track. Top-three hope. ECHT STAHL (2) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when eighth over 1400m at this track. Solid claims on best form.

The run before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track on June 1 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Trolltunga with 55kg at $3.50. Plenty to like about her prospects.

Recent form sound. Last start won by a neck at this track June 28 over 1600m defeating Kurino Orion carrying 54kg at $4.10. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track on June 14 over 1300m, 5 len behind Yamanin Brighten with 54kg at $10. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
