GOING:

Race 9 2400m

Track:      

Justin Long to take the lead and control the tempo. JUSTIN LONG (2) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1600m at this track. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. GULISTON (9) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. DESTIN (8) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. RETRACER (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 10 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track over 2000m. Best figures measure up nicely. One of the chances.
