GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Rimshot to take up the running with Bayashi Faith and T O Lippmann close at hand. T O LIPPMANN (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. GRASS VISION (3) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Among the leading players again. RIMSHOT (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1500m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can make amends. CANTA CANARITO (4) has recorded six minor placings from nine runs this preparation. Finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and can play a major role.
