GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Just Hold probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. JUST HOLD (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at this track last time, getting there by 2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. SILVER RIDER (7) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SUPER PARTY (1) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has the ability to find the winners' list. KOTCHAN (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Worth including.
