GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Tuna Forty leading the way. NORISAN BLACK (6) is a four-time winner who has been racing well, scoring by a neck last time out over 1700m at this track. Races well here and is the testing material. MANNO MUSE (4) disappointed when fifth last time over 1500m at this track. Kept fresh for this. Well placed to make amends. HASUNOMI (10) did little and finished eighth over 1500m at this track last start. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a key runner. ESTRELLITA (7) missed the placings last start when tenth over 1500m at this track. Can figure in the finish this time.
