GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Ripening, Thalberg and Hinna primarily. RIPENING (2) went forward last start over 1600m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. In a suitable race and can play a major role. ROSEN WOLF (5) has two placings from three runs this prep and last start finished a neck from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. BRAVOCERATOPS (11) was comfortably accounted for when second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. LIEN FORT (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Has a solid record here including three wins and seven minor placings from 21 outings. Big run is likely.
