GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo anticipated with Extra Light heading them off. MACCHINETTA (8) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a neck from the winner in third over 1500m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. SOVEREIGN RULER (9) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by a head. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. ONE LOVE (1) last appeared a month ago over 1500m at this track when she finished fifth. This is her first run for the Noboru Sakamoto stable. Can measure up for the new barn. EXTRA LIGHT (6) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Place chance.
