GOING:

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

Eel Tesoro and Meisho Hyuma possess good early speed. MEISHO HYUMA (9) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 0.8 lengths over 1300m at this track to make it two in a row. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. DONA APHRODITE (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by one length as favourite last time out over 1300m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. WIN AWARD (4) boxed on to finish second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. LUX CHERRY (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 1.75 lengths into third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
