GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Hokko Alice should lead at a strong tempo. DELIGHT ALBUM (9) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 1200m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to run well again. Can make it back-to-back wins. SAKURA MY WAY (12) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. HOKKO ALICE (7) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish third over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up and can run well again. FOR CAP (5) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
