GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Midnight Gale and Lady Pyro matching motors, closely followed by Quattro Sauvage. MIDNIGHT GALE (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m after being in contention all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MEISHO MARBLE (3) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a nose over 1200m here. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six starts. Sure to go well again. HONEYBERRY (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1200m at this venue when she was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WIN STRATEGY (9) drifted back then motored home to score by 1.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again.
