GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Mattina to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MEISHO GIGAS (11) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Expected to be hard to stop. I SAW THE STAR (6) got a long way back at Tokyo Dirt six weeks ago. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind her. GO MY WAY (10) was safely held when sixth last time out. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can rediscover winning form. MATTINA (2) has filled a minor placing at his last five outings, most recently when second. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
