GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Wee Beastie and Satono Medusa pressing for the lead. PARTIDA (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Sure to go well again. TAKE NOTICE (4) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1700m at this track. Among the leading chances here. WEE BEASTIE (8) started favourite last time but found one better over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed stepping out in trip and should be about the money. IROGONOMI (2) did well last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten only half a length. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
