GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Not a great deal of early speed and Supreme Arrow may be the one that takes it up. SUPREME ARROW (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten half a length. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to run well. JOLLY MEMORY (3) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time out. Expected to be in this for a long way. KATHARSIS (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 24 when beaten 13 lengths into fifth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can make amends. SUNSET COLOR (7) improved last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
