GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Al Asha driving forward from a wide gate with Solar System also handy. MEISHO UMIKAZE (9) recorded his maiden success three back but has missed the placings at the last two appearances, most recently when eighth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. AL ASHA (12) started at $6.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th here over 1500m. Has the ability to produce a better result. OILMAN (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing ninth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. SOLAR SYSTEM (4) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
