GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Win Tolkien leading the way. RADIANT HORSE (1) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1400m at this track to make it two in succession. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Among the leading chances. MAGICAL MOTION (2) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1400m at this track. Can contest. WIN TOLKIEN (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run. HAKUAI ASSIST (6) was tenth over 1400m at this track last time out. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
