GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Cosmo En En leading the way. COSMO EN EN (9) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Leading player again. YAGIRI DREAM (11) started at $3.40 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 1200m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COPANO MARRON (1) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at this track. Solid top-three prospects. VILLAGE STEEL (2) improved last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track. Well placed to play a part again.
