GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Best Post and High Touch Madonna battling for the lead. PEACE SHINY (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SCHWARZ NAGA (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 2000m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. BEST POST (12) was thereabouts when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Form this track is solid with two wins from six starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. HIGH TOUCH MADONNA (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
