GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with T O Renoir possessing enough dash to find the front. T O RENOIR (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth over 1600m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. SAHARA VAINQUEUR (11) returned from a break last start with a moderate 13th over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt after giving away a big start. Has the talent to feature here. OCEA TOP GUN (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth over 1600m at this track. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. POSITIVE GIRL (5) finished sixth over 1600m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Solid claims on best form.
