GOING:

Race 10 1800m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Volgograd leading the way. VOLGOGRAD (2) is a seven-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, scoring by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Races well here and is the testing material. A SHIN DANSHAKU (7) finished 8 lengths back in sixth over 1800m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. DUAL RAINBOW (3) finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1300m at this track when fresh from a spell as $3.1 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Among the chances. SATONO THRIVE (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.

Useful entire. Last start didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 11 at this track on June 15 over 1800m, 8 len behind Aeno Brian with 56kg at $6.40. The run before that won by a neck at this track June 1 over 1860m defeating Shura Vhara carrying 56kg at $5.10. Capable of a better run.
