GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace with Yamanin Sowelu, Never Land and Ailes Vague paving the way. AILES VAGUE (4) was doing her best work late last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. MOLEQUE (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1600m at this track after he was prominent at the bend. Has further improvement to come and can find peak form this time. NEVER LAND (7) got the prize two runs ago at Saga. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. YAMANIN SOWELU (3) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there until straightening when beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
