GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Strong early tempo with Presto Stella and Sound Kingdom leading the way over Knotted Cord. DURO AVANTI (5) did a great job to score by 3.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PRESTO STELLA (6) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins and three placings. Leading player. SUPER LUCKY (1) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to prove hard to beat again. SOUND KINGDOM (3) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 1200m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Not to be discounted.
