GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with City Of London probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. TIGER WAGON (7) improved sharply with success as public elect over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he could strike again. VOLCAN BARU (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by a head over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and this looks well within his grasp. CITY OF LONDON (6) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 6 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Could go on with it. CAPSULE (4) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to find a top-three spot.
