GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Raritas should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. COLLIER D'OR (5) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Lots to like. RIKEA MACCHIATO (9) finished tenth last start over 1400m at this track in a disappointing run. Is yet to miss the frame from five starts at this distance, including three wins. Sure to make his presence felt. JUGGERNAUT (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Has a sound record here and has winning claims on best figures. RARITAS (3) was safely held when tenth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
