GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

From the wide draw Red Five can cross and set up a solid tempo. FORTIA (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a low draw and he is a key runner. SOCIAL CODE (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1700m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. CAMERON (6) finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Strong top-three chance. TAGANO AIZEN (4) struggled on the tougher circuit two back then last time appreciated the drop in grade when he bounced back and saluted at this track. Well placed and is an each-way chance.
