GOING:

Race 10 920m

Track:      

Anticipate Alniyat, Iikuni Asher and Hakusan Flash to set a strong tempo. IIKUNI ASHER (8) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2 lengths over 920m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from nine runs. Big chance once again. ALL ROUNDER (1) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1700m at this track. Great chance to atone. ALNIYAT (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish fifth. One of the main contenders. MALAIA GARNET (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Well placed to make amends.
