GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Cuenca and Speed Yellow leading the way. HOUYHNHNM (4) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by a nose. Has a very good record here with four wins from five starts. Hard to beat again. MEINER EARTH (6) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out he finished second over 1600m at this track. Should measure up again. SPEED YELLOW (8) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten a neck. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. KAZU LAPONIAN (1) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track when fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
