GOING:

Race 10 1800m

Track:      

Small field in which T Up Blanca can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. PLAYER'S HIGH (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from five runs. Sure to go well. HERACLES KNOT (6) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. T UP BLANCA (5) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1400m at this track last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish third. Top-three hope. KOTOSHIRO (3) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
