GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

From the wide gate Hamburg Hammer should cross and lead. NORDIA (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out. Won at this course and distance prior so is in good form. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. O SHIN CANDY (1) made it two wins from the last three starts when getting home by 1.5 lengths two weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Well drawn so could repeat the dose. COEUR ET RAIJIN (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings. Can bounce back. JHANG MAGHIANA (7) has done well to place at his last couple of runs. Don't underestimate.
