GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Good pace from Change The World, Orion Heart and B B Pickett. ORION HEART (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and happy to have her on top. NISHINO MATSURI (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 920m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Expected to be in the finish. ROBUSTNESS (7) built on a nice third two starts back with success as public elect over 1500m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. RIPLEY (8) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 1500m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth including.
