GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Eikai Sophia, Crown Freed and Ascot Roman battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. ASCOT ROMAN (8) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over at this track and trip to make it two in a row and continue a long string of top-three finishes. Can go on with it. LOYAL CUSTOMER (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 3 lengths at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and two minor placings. Draws well and likely to feature. CROWN FREED (5) displayed plenty of early toe at this track and trip last time and went on to score by a head. Can figure in the outcome. EIKAI SOPHIA (1) produced a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Worth including.
