GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

M T Estate to take charge ahead of Meisho Kaikon at a solid tempo. M T ESTATE (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Has been in super form this campaign, finishing in the money at each of his three starts. Bold showing expected. G T TRUE (1) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Well placed and can repeat the dose. MEISHO KAIKON (10) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. TSUKIMUSUBI (4) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Worth plenty of thought fresh.
