GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Nishino Kanan and Te Stesso should tussle for the early lead in the small field. FLAME SWORD (4) is in exceptional form with wins at his last three starts including a 1300m win at this track last start. Should measure up at this trip to make it four straight. NISHINO KANAN (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when second over 1400m at this track. Well placed out to a longer trip now and a great chance to break through. TE STESSO (7) has really found form this campaign scoring two wins on end, including an effortless 4 lengths win over 1400m at this track last time. Looks a genuine threat again here. CHARMANT CHERIE (6) is coming off a last-start fourth over 1750m at this track. Has a sound record here with three wins and nine minor placings from 15 starts. One of the main contenders.
