GOING:

Race 9 2100m

Track:      

Abendsonne should lead and control the tempo. AFROBEAT (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAMAMO LUPINUS (9) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 1500m at this track last time out. Another bold showing is expected. GRASS VISION (10) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on June 18 over 1500m when he scored by a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GLORIOUS HERO (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1500m. Nicely placed to run well.
