GOING: G

Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 27)    

There should be a bit of pressure with Palo Alto and Excellent Matta pressing forward in advance of Bright Kai and Raon Jewelstone. PALO ALTO (3) was an effortless winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 5 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. EXCELLENT MATTA (5) scored at this track last time out with 4 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Rates highly and can measure up. BLACK SPECTER (2) finished out of the money two starts back, then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track five weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BRIGHT KAI (7) made progress last time out, finishing a bold third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
