GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Meiner Faucon, Neo Hughes and Carry Happiness leading the way. MEINER FAUCON (4) won two starts back here then finished third last time out over 1400m at this track. Has the class to produce another win. CARRY HAPPINESS (9) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1600m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be overlooked. NEO HUGHES (7) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. COLOMBAGES (6) was sent out favourite but could only finish fifth over 1600m at this track last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. In the mix.
