GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Taishin to take up the running with J Pack and Ii Vision Star close at hand. J PACK (7) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only half a length. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. TAISHIN (5) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 12 over 1400m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. HIDEGAMI QUEEN (9) honest filly who has a top-three strike-rate of almost 50%. Found a couple better last start at this track over 1400m. Could take plenty of beating. TIMELESS LOVE (4) made progress last time out, finishing second over 1230m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
