GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Taiki Maxwell and Namura Swagger leading the way. SETON (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. COPANO RICH MAN (6) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing tenth over 1400m at this track most recently. Has the class to put the recent run behind him. WIDE KANT (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back successes. NAMURA SWAGGER (5) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
