GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Fast tempo assured with Ecoro Falcon, Lord In Fight and Satono Alex going at each other early in the piece. ECORO FALCON (1) is racing well, finishing just half a length from the winner in second last time over 1400m at this track. Won four of his previous five at this course and was successful the only time he raced over this distance here. Can take advantage of the inside draw. Top chance. LORD IN FIGHT (9) lines up for the first time since April 14 having recorded two wins and a placing in three starts last campaign. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Should be hard to stop. SATONO ALEX (6) returns from a spell of four months. Ended last campaign as a winner and also won first-up last time in work. Major player. COPANO RICH MAN (7) owns a good strike rate here. Must be respected.
