GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Etre Doue and Cresco Thunder pressing hard closely followed by Infini Wraith and Smart Kingdom. MUGITO LUNA (6) scored by a neck last start over this journey at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In form and should go well again. ANDERMATT (5) is in great form this campaign, lifting strongly to score over 1400m at this track last time, making it back-to-back wins. Rates a leading hope again. SMART KINGDOM (1) finished third last start over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Likely improver with winning claims. ETRE DOUE (9) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
