GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Four Side Nine and Kar Smoky. FOUR SIDE NINE (9) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1600m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Can go on with it. KAR SMOKY (3) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. SUNRISE SHERRY (2) started at $5.20 last time but could only manage fourth here over 1600m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. SANT MEDIR (7) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when seventh at this course and distance. Must be respected.
