Race 9 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Hamburg Hammer, Happy Yellow and Magique leading the way. HAPPY YELLOW (1) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Goes well at this journey with four wins and six placings from 11 starts and should prove tough to beat. EIYU MAX (5) progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as public elect over 1230m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. HAMBURG HAMMER (10) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1400m at this track to make it two in succession. Has a high cruising speed and should be involved in the finish. MAGIQUE (11) has been in good form, stringing wins together before placing twice in a row, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again.
