GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Investor leading the way. END OF WAR (3) started at $3.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to make amends. SPECULATOR (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Seigo Tsukamoto stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on four occasions. Can play a big role. CELESTE (7) settled well back last start and never threatened when sixth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. INVESTOR (8) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Sound prospects.
