GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Meijo Solid leading Suave Johann. MEISHO MIRAI (2) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1300m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by one length. Fitter for that last hitout and happy to have him on top. MEIJO SOLID (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when she was handy all the way over 1300m at this track. Can produce a winning run here. ICE SHELF (8) finished third last time over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. SUAVE JOHANN (5) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Has the right profile to be competitive.
