GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track: AW      

A keen early contest with High Power Zenkai and Buzzutchi leading from Jolly Harmony. HIGH POWER ZENKAI (5) resumed last start over this distance at this track and scored. Form here strong boasting six wins from 12 starts. Expect a bold showing. NAC LEGAL (12) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start here. Expected to be there at the business end. KEEP IN MIND (1) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when sixth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. JO A LA MODE (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 8. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. One to consider.
