GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Meiner Sahara taking charge. GLORY (7) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track and Manato Hida who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. MEINER SAHARA (3) started at $5.10 last time but could only manage fifth at this track over 1300m. Sure to be in the finish. FEB KIRANAH (4) stuck on well last start to finish third over 900m at this track after showing good early speed. In the right race and is a winning hope. DAIRIN WOLF (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
