|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo set by Fort Red and Baton Rouge. NOON DAY GUN (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2 lengths over 1400m at Kenilworth. Fitter and is a second-up winner. Improver with winning prospects. BACKINTHEFASTLANE (3) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at Kenilworth. Back in grade and well weighted with the claim. Deserves another chance. LANDSEER (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. SPIRIT OF LEVANA (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1600m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around.
