GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

They should roll along at a decent clip. DANON WILHELM (9) in strong form with four wins from eight attempts this campaign. Won two starts back at this track and went close again last time out. Major player. WONDER STING (3) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. Capable of a big performance. CARRY HAPPINESS (6) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1300m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. WIN AWARD (7) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Sure to run well.
