GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

A lack of early speed leaves it open for Maruyo Fursa to run them along. NOAH BLACK (2) did little and finished fifth over 1400m at this track last start. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to feature. ORENTANO (3) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten one length into fourth over 1600m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Could be tough to hold out. MARUYO FURSA (1) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Has the ability to produce a strong run here. RING BOY (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
