GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Shuffle Girl heading them off. STELLA DEL CIELO (9) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. OKEN BOSS (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 920m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be taken lightly. SHUFFLE GIRL (6) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. TRAIL RIDGE (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2000m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
