GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Whitby Abbey and Ryuno Dragon. WHITBY ABBEY (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1700m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths and making it seven straight wins. Looks well placed again. FLIPPER (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. RYUNO DRAGON (10) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 2100m at this track. Drawn out but should be in the finish again. BOX OFFICE (3) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
