GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Bush Tesoro, Big American and Erz leading the charge. BUSH TESORO (13) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 1600m at this track to bring up six wins from 11 runs in the campaign. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Likely to feature. FOREST GATE (5) proved too strong last start and scored by half a length over 1600m at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and four minor placings. Winning hope again. TIERED (7) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1600m at this track when she finished sixth. This is her first run for the Junpei Morishita stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BLESSED THUNDER (4) continued the good recent form when he finished just 3 lengths away in third last time out over 1600m at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and 11 minor placings from 17 starts and is not to be discounted.
