GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Longing Dolce and Based Tratra. WILL MISCHIEVOUS (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1500m. Settles close to the speed. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason why he cannot find winning ways. MANA SKY (10) finished 8 lengths behind the winner in fifth over 1500m here last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead and best figures should see him run well. KING'S ROAR (8) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this circuit after being in contention on the corner two weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run and shapes as one of the main contenders. BASED TRATRA (7) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1700m here last time. Deserves respect.
