GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Cipher City to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CIPHER CITY (9) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Should cross from wide out. Major player. MISS TREVI NO (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1400m here. Well placed and can make amends. WONDER BLESS (10) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. In a suitable race and can feature. SILVER BLOND (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when only 0.9 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance.
