GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Fast early tempo likely from Bounty Cat setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Preflop All In. PREFLOP ALL IN (2) scored by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track last start. Has a terrific record here with six wins and one placing from seven starts. Can keep the winning streak alive from a favourable alley. SANONO SPEED (11) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1600m at this track. Leading contender. BOUNTY CAT (12) led throughout last time over 1300m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Will be looking to cross again and shapes as one to consider. MISHIRO WAY (8) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In contention this time.
