GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from Mikki Subaru and All's Fair. ALL'S FAIR (11) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a nose over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MIKKI SUBARU (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1200m at this track at his latest appearance. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will prove tough to beat. LEGEND WAY (12) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. RIPENING (14) has been thereabouts, the latest finishing second over 1400m at this track but overdue for another win. Rates well on best and could sneak into the finish.
