GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Held and Fine Gift matching motors. BOUND TO WIN (6) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to return to winning form. HELD (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when eighth in a 1750m contest at this track four weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FUKUNO EVRY (4) drew wide last time and was safely held when eighth over this track and trip. Among the better chances. FINE GIFT (7) was below her best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.
