GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Machine Gun from his wide alley. UNWRITTEN RULE (10) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1300m at this track when beaten 5 lengths. Has a decent record at this track. Should run well. SHONAN MARINE (2) strode forward early last start from her wide draw and was never headed, scoring by 4 lengths at this track over 1300m. One of the top chances again. T O RENOIR (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WAR HAMMER (9) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth in a 1300m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
