GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Mutabilis, Ocea Hartman and Sunrise Sheer ahead of Viaduct. OCEA HARTMAN (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. MUTABILIS (3) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is sure to go well. AMMINO LEMON (10) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to turn things around. VIADUCT (7) was sixth in a 1300m contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame.
