GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Fox Sleep leading the way. MORPHEUS (7) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has the ability to take this out. FOX SLEEP (1) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Has a good record at this course and distance, including six wins. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. A SHIN TOURING (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when seventh in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the class to produce a better result. WATER LEMON (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can play a significant role.
