GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Good pace with D S Yell, Lupus Tesoro and S'il Te Plait matching motors. S'IL TE PLAIT (5) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Anticipating another big run. D S YELL (2) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 1800m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CREW DRAGON (4) finished out of the money when fifth over 2000m at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can take this out. LUPUS TESORO (7) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1300m at Saga six-and-a-half weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Can feature in the finish.

Second run back. Comes off a 57-day let-up. First-up after 13 months favourite; won by 3 len at this track May 5 over 1700m defeating Brave Amore carrying 57kg at $1.80. Previously second-up favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 5 len win at Saga December 22 2024 over 1800m defeating Aeno Brian with 56kg at $1.20. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Improver with winning prospects.
