GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Ora Veritas to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ORA VERITAS (4) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BORDEAUX RISKLESS (9) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can play a major role. MARUTOKU LAUREL (6) finished fourth last time out over 920m at this track four weeks ago as $2 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. BATTLE LEGGENDA (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again.
