GOING:

Race 7 820m

Track:      

Pace only fair with Bachelo Rex rolling to the lead ahead of Maple Captain and Ninen E Gumi. TAIL VENUS (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten only half a length, over 820m at this track. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. BACHELO REX (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing 11th over 1230m at this track. Rates highly on best figures and can bounce back. MAPLE CAPTAIN (12) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth over 820m here last time. One of the main contenders. GETTING OUT (6) finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Back in trip and worth including in this suitable contest.
