GOING: G

Race 12 1700m

Track: GOOD      

Pivotal Play to take charge ahead of Prevenance at a solid tempo. TECHNO DIAMOND (2) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 1600m at this track last time out. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has three wins when partnering stays on. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. GREAT FURIOSO (9) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth when resuming last time out at this track over 1600m. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from six starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. PIVOTAL PLAY (10) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PREVENANCE (7) finished third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
