GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Tagano Grantham and Sure Gait taking up the running over Keyword. SURE GAIT (5) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Fitter and a top chance. TAGANO GRANTHAM (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at this track over 1700m on September 4. Likely to go forward from a nice draw and can play a major role. SATONO GRAND (7) settled well back last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Anticipating a better run this time. KAKIEMON (6) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Fitter and capable of featuring prominently.
