GOING:

Race 9 820m

Track:      

Good early pace from Chachahime, Gold Lantern and Stuka going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. MEISHO KORAN (8) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 820m at this track last start to make it three straight. Back to the scene of the last success so hard to knock. STUKA (10) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 2.5 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. CHACHAHIME (3) was well placed at this track a month ago and capitalised, leading throughout and kicking nicely for a 3.5 lengths success. Take catching again. POD HALO (7) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track, finishing seventh. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
