GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Rich Hunter and Dame Sunrise leading the way over Forewind. RICH HUNTER (3) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. FOREWIND (4) lines up for the first time since June 18. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Expecting a strong run. EXPLORE BEST (5) fought on well for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should run well again. DAME SUNRISE (2) was well fancied on the back of some good form at the last run last prep but ran well below expectations, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track on June 20. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
