GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Sammaru Warrior to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. NISHINO SUNSTONE (6) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out at this course and distance. Deserves to break through. SAMMARU WARRIOR (7) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second at this track and trip. May take catching. PY WOLF (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose at this course and distance. Has to overcome a tricky draw but is nicely placed to feature in the finish. SAND FALCON (3) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Go well again.
