GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Navarone taking charge. MEINER EARTH (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track five months ago. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. Sure to run well. AL HAYL FORT (7) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. BABY BOSS (10) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1300m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and he looms as a significant threat. WINDBLOWN (3) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1600m at this track. Performs well here with minor placings at all four runs. Cannot be underestimated.
