GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Safari and Bradshaw pressing for the lead. G T EIGHT (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. BRADSHAW (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a nose over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DERMA VEDA (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just three times from 40 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. ECORO ATHENA (10) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
