GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Speed assured from G T Eight, Danon Oneup and Lazulite Takka pressing on ahead of Epoca Rina. G T EIGHT (4) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1400m at this track last start to make it four straight. The testing material. EPOCA RINA (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 6 lengths. Has a terrific record here with three wins and one minor placings from four starts. Right in this. ZENDAN SUBASHIRI (2) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 3 lengths. Ready to go one better. SHORT STOP (3) made progress last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.

The start before that favourite; won by 5 len at this track May 13 over 1400m defeating Montsaint Of Light with 58kg at $1.30. Sure to be right there at the business end.
