GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Precious Meno and Country Victor will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. SLAYLAR (9) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then scored by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. PRECIOUS MENO (1) was a narrow winner two back at this track then in the placings last time at this track. Gets a little weight relief. Has been in sound form this prep with two wins from four starts. Sure to run well. JOSHO BRILLER (8) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track then failed to back it up over 1400m at this track last time. Does go well at this shorter distance so worth forgiving. COUNTRY VICTOR (3) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when fifth over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins, which bodes well today.
