GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Without much in the way of early speed it might be left to Mira Monte to take charge. KAKOGAN (3) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 1400m at this track. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. L HALCON (2) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. MIRA MONTE (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Best form stacks up and is worth another chance. WONDER AUMENT (6) hit the line nicely last time to grab third over today's journey at this track. Well placed and must be included.
