GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Royal Epic. HARLEM SHUFFLE (14) has really found form this campaign scoring two wins on end, including an effortless 5 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Rates well and looks tough to beat again. LINDA POKKE (11) ran an improved race second up last start to finish in the placings over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. The third-up record is strong so she is among the winning hopes. ROYAL EPIC (2) started at $5.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. NAMURA MICK (7) was a determined winner two back then drifted back last time and finished 7 lengths away in 12th over 1200m at this track. Can bounce back to winning form.

One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
