GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo expected with Thinking Mojito, Pantanal and Dungaree prominent. PANTANAL (9) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COURAGE MINORU (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run six-and-a-half months ago when he scored by 8 lengths. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DUNGAREE (8) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1200m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DESERT MOON (5) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Has her share of talent. Can go on with it.
