GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Eukleia and Adarmalik taking up the running over Entusiasta. GOLD PARTNER (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1500m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Should go well again. EUKLEIA (4) was a most impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. ADARMALIK (3) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ENTUSIASTA (5) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
