GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo from Winning The Soul crossing from an outside gate, with Gushichanno Hoshi also pushing up. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when second. Has never missed the frame at this course, including three wins and two placings. One of the genuine hopes in the race. KAUILA (6) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 1300m at this track. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. WINNING THE SOUL (11) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1300m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. DANON COOK (2) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track. Cannot be ruled out.
