GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Good pace from Io Ray, Royal Epic and Ka Noa Lady going forward. CATCH A FIRE (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IO RAY (9) is back at the races for the first time since May 22. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. ROYAL EPIC (8) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Can make his presence felt. GABBY'S FAMILY (7) finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths. Should be peaking. Likely improver with solid prospects.
