GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Accordance and Variraptor kicking up to hold out the next wave. VARIRAPTOR (2) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing a head away in second over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well. WORKING ASSET (9) did his best work late last time over 1230m at this track, finishing fourth. Ready to peak after three runs back and is ready for another bold showing. JUN ODR (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh over 1870m at this track. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. ACCORDANCE (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third. In the mix.
