GOING: SL

GOLD BAND TAXIS MOBILE PACE 1980m

Track: SLOW      

SIDESHOW BRUCE (8) scored by 5.5 metres at this track over 1980m last start at his first run back from a spell. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Has the class to make it two from two this time in work. BETTORS ANVIL (11) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last eight starts including a third most recently at Alexandra Park over 2700m. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Has the class to take care of this field. MIKI KNOWS (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw. SLOTS (4) must be respected off the last-start win.
