GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Dry Cappuccino and Surreal. EGG HUNT (2) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SURREAL (9) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths as favourite. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. DRY CAPPUCCINO (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1300m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has good early pace. Likely improver with strong prospects. CROWN RISING (1) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
