GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Speed assured from Kitasan Bambina, Diamant Drop and Last Spirits pressing on ahead of Waag's Tea. WAAG'S TEA (5) did well last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. DIAMANT DROP (8) was well fancied last start over 1500m at this track when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Great chance to atone. CHROME NOIR (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Anticipating a big run this time. HEKIREKI ISSEN (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
