GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Morning Himawari to take up the running with Honey Memory and A Shin Drago close at hand. A SHIN DRAGO (1) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, only beaten half a length. Well placed and fitter is a major player. BOZEMAN (2) solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten half a length. Yet to miss the frame from five starts at the trip, including a win and can play a big role. HEROIC ROY (4) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1600m here. Ideally placed and can bounce back. MORNING HIMAWARI (8) resumes in a similar race to her last run 12 weeks ago when seventh. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
