GOING: G

Race 9 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Sea Of Wave to take charge ahead of Win Protea at a solid tempo. SEA OF WAVE (9) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Expected to take catching again in this suitable race. TAISEI TALISMAN (3) is a 15-start maiden finding it tough to get off the mark but is knocking on the door, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track last time out. Tackling a more suitable race so he is perfectly placed to score. SEIUN WITH ME (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Has the class to figure prominently. PARTY KING (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
