GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Looks a decent tempo with Sakura Flavor, Hellcat and Golden Ale leading the charge. GOLDEN ALE (9) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Wada Joji engaged. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering three wins. Should prove tough to beat again. HELLCAT (8) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame after three starts, including two wins. Is at the races for the first time since she scored over 1600m at this track on July 31. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. GENERAL WIN (14) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 0.8 lengths at this track over 1400m. In form and another bold showing is on the cards. RETRO TYPE (12) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when tenth. Among the place chances on best figures.
