GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Loads of pressure, primarily from Francina Tesoro, Evelyn Tesoro and Pua Lani. EVELYN TESORO (4) really dug deep to salute by one length three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Proving a good combination with Ren Hasegawa with six straight placings. Leading contender. T M TOWER DON (6) has scored at his last four starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from six outings. Leading player again. FRANCINA TESORO (8) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Record at this track is strong. Expected to run well. TRICORN (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 8 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
