GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Ballsy leading Copano Curacao. SHAMAN'S CAVE (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. COPANO CURACAO (8) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing half a length away in second last time over 1600m at this track. Good record at this journey with six wins and a placing from 10 starts and is sure to play a big role. ARLEQUIN (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m after being in contention on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BALLSY (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
