GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Pasion Blond leading the way. PASION BLOND (9) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1600m at this track when beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. NOW'S THE TIME (3) did little and finished 13th over 1800m at Ohi last start, a less impressive effort than her first-up eighth at Ohi the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can place. TRAIN TRAIN (5) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Tough to stop again. THESE DAYS (2) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1600m at this track, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner. Worth plenty of thought.

The start before that second last of 11 at this track on April 6 over 1300m, 11 len behind Ghost Buster with 55kg at $27.10. Doesn’t need to improve much to play a big role.

The start before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 3rd of 12 at this track on May 3 over 1300m, 1.75 len behind Rinno Legend carrying 57kg at $2.20. Going well enough to take this out.
