GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace with Demon Slayer finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. DEMON SLAYER (5) finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after he was prominent at the bend. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. WORKING ASSET (4) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. That followed a win here the start prior. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and five minor placings. Key runner. T K VINO (8) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. WONDER DUEL (11) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. In the mix.
