GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Despite the small field Isla Azul, A Shin Harrier and Aiyana will set a genuine tempo. AIYANA (1) did a great job last start when running second here and looks well placed to go one better. Top chance. ONE VOICE (4) improved to finish fourth here last time and strikes a winnable race. Capable of breaking through. A SHIN HARRIER (5) was below his best last start but has a strong record at this trip and should be very competitive if he rebounds. PIECE MATCHING (6) kept improving last run when third over 1870m and is well placed to feature again.

Racing well recently. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on September 12 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Yamanin Rigid with 52kg at $7.50. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on August 29 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Good Habits carrying 52kg at $20.80. Big chance to score after a near miss last start.
