GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks genuine from Hako Suka, Lux Amor and Lot Clover, closely attended by Sure Winner. SURE WINNER (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1400m at this track. Cannot be put aside after one miss. LOT CLOVER (8) displayed plenty of early toe over 1300m at this track last time and went on to score by 2 lengths. Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HAKO SUKA (1) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. LUX AMOR (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so she can be prominent again.
