GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. CURREN LOMACHENKO (1) was well in the market but disappointed backers last time when 3.5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track. Goes well at this journey with nine wins and four placings from 19 starts and is a leading contender. T O SPARROW (5) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COLLBRANDE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EARTH RISER (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 4 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. Taichi Nagamori gets the best out of this nine-year-old gelding. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
