GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Hakuai Demain, Daimei Noboru and Fractal battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. LAUDATIO (7) turned things around last start and scored by 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn as favourite over 1300m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. DAIMEI NOBORU (1) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in contention on the corner to score by 6 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. FRACTAL (11) has scored at her last three starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from seven outings. Among the leading players again. SAIOGA UMA (3) scored last start at this track to make it three wins from six starts this campaign. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Don't underestimate.
