GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Fuji Fantasista likely to hold the lead from the rails draw, joined by Ora Veritas. ORA VERITAS (8) resumed over 1500m last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish second at this track when he was up on the pace all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Ideally placed to take this out. FUJI FANTASISTA (1) proved too strong last start and scored by half a length over 1500m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Should be prominent from the low draw. Likely to feature. INAZUMA LINE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BATTLE LEGGENDA (12) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
