GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Bicky First has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. WONDERFUL TODAY (9) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1400m at this track to make it three wins from four runs this time in. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including three wins. Bold showing expected. DIAMOND FUJI (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. VIADUCT (1) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by a nose at this track over 1400m. One of the main contenders. SIEG SCHWERT (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
