GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Ruri O and Kazu Vitosha leading the way. KYOEI BRAVO (6) kept coming only to just miss as favourite last start over 1400m at this track. Has raced six times here and has never missed the frame. Major player. WE STINGER (2) returned from a break of eight months with a solid second last start at this track over 1400m when he was prominent throughout. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. MOVE ON (3) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark four runs back, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects. MATCHAN FIGHT (4) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, finishing eighth. Likely improver.
