GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Bear Excellent leading from Golden Lei and Knife Rest. LIVE KETCHUP (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Sure to give a brave sight again. BEAR EXCELLENT (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Should be tough to rein in. OLAF (7) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then missed the placings last time when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back to his best form. GOLDEN LEI (3) was disappointing over 1600m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
