GOING:

Race 7 1580m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Hiruno Galicia finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. AUBADE (5) showed good early pace over 1400m at this track last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DHARMAWANGSA (8) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. WE STINGER (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Has the ability to take this out. CROSS RATE (4) missed the placings last start when sixth over 1580m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
