GOING: D

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Hakusan Marron and Dannai ahead of Shumpu and Famous Grace. DANNAI (7) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at this course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Faces an easier assignment so he is a big chance to salute again. HAKUSAN MARRON (1) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led throughout to score by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Likely to feature. FAMOUS GRACE (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track then fought on gamely to finish third. Won't find this as tough so she is likely to play a big role. SHUMPU (6) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
