GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track: AW      

A strong gallop is likely with The Nature and Steel Thunder taking up the running, closely attended by Immersive and Kanetoshi Themis. STEEL THUNDER (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. THE NATURE (11) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1000m at this track. Can run a bold race. KANETOSHI THEMIS (8) is going well with four minor placings from four starts this campaign. Was always up in the leading division and finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1000m at this track. Anticipating another big run. ROSE ONE STELLA (4) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth over this journey at this track. Can feature in the finish.
