GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Looks a decent tempo with Cavalier Quest, Songwriter and Etre Doue leading the charge. SPRIGGAN (1) handy entire who is racing well, including a solid second last start over 1400m at this track. One of the major players. CAVALIER QUEST (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago here but was safely held last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. CHAMPION SEIRA (12) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on June 10 over 1400m when he got home by 4 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. ETRE DOUE (7) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1400m at this track last time. Sasaki Serei stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on seven occasions. Best figures stack up. In the mix.
