GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Pressure on from word go with Higher Grade, Something Great and Canterbury Hayate handlebars down ahead of Nany Peony and Kaminari Oyaji. HIGHER GRADE (6) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SABLE MIRAGE (7) finished in fifth last start over 1300m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. KAMINARI OYAJI (8) was safely held last time out here. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CANTERBURY HAYATE (2) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
