GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

Expecting a genuine pace with a number of these pressing forward. COSMO FARNESE (10) is putting together some strong results. Got the job done by 5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1860m at this track, his third success from his last five runs. Big chance to deliver again. BIKINI BOY (5) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1800m at this track. That made it three wins from his last four appearances. Must rate highly. T M FONTE (4) turned in another decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Consistent and is one of the chief contenders. AENO BRIAN (6) lines up for the first time since February 23. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Worth plenty of thought.
