GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Love And Hope and Ken Bridge Yu. KEN BRIDGE YU (3) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 1580m at this track when fresh from a break. Should go forward again from a good gate and can go on to take this out. WE STINGER (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1580m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed so expect another big run. KYOEI WIND (7) got the prize two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver. BERDINA (8) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. With a little improvement can take this out.
