GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Stuka and Venice Queen leading the charge. STUKA (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1230m at this track, scoring by 6 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. DAZZLING ICE (5) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish 11th over 1230m at this track in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and well placed can bounce back. KAJIKA RISE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1230m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is fitter and up to the task. ACCORDANCE (3) was fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
