GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Kurino Achiever leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. NORI WOOD TAIL (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. BEER BOY (7) is a 10-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at this track over 1400m, beaten 12 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. KURINO ACHIEVER (2) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on June 12. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. TAMBAFFE (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into seventh. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
