GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Earl Of Kent should find the front with Bye Bye Darling and Terevaka on his heels. BYE BYE DARLING (6) has four wins and two minor placings from seven runs this campaign. Scored last start by 2 lengths at this track over 1400m after being handy all the way. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. AFROBEAT (11) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1500m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EARL OF KENT (10) started at $2.80 last time but could only manage tenth, beaten 18 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Form here at this trip reads six wins from 10 starts. Has claims on his best efforts. T O EMERALD (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
