GOING:

Race 8 820m

Track:      

Victory Bridge and Binary Star should set a strong tempo. VICTORY BRIDGE (7) is a boom three-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 5 lengths over 820m at this track. Had plenty in hand last time and looks the testing material again. MAKANKOSAPPO (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 820m. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Nicely placed to find winning ways. YASHIRO SMILEY (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. BINARY STAR (8) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 820m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
