GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Bicorn. BICORN (2) finished fourth last start over this distance at this track. Form here strong boasting eight wins from 13 starts. Huge chance on best efforts and worth another try. HARU AUBE (3) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. NOAH BLACK (8) scored two back here but was well below his best last time when eighth over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on best form so he can turn things around. AORAKI (7) was fifth in a 1400m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
