GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Alma Imeru heading them off. S T FIN (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. L HALCON (2) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.5 lengths victory over 1230m at this track three weeks ago. Can go on with it. SATONO AVALON (7) proved too strong two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Has ability and can make amends. HOSHO MANI (4) produced a better run last start when fourth over 1230m at this track. Expect she will make amends.

Going well. Most recently favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track April 30 over 1400m defeating Alfenim with 56kg at $1.40. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on April 10 over 1400m, 2 len behind Ask Vue Reve More with 56kg at $2.90. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
