GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Fugetsumuhen to take up the running with Gold Ziegel and Sun Plumeria close at hand. GOLD ZIEGEL (4) is close to another win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Talented type who is expected to run well again. FAIRLY HIGH (9) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track. Major player. SOUTHERN FIELD (7) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish second over today's journey at this track. Will spot them a start but watch for him late. SUN PLUMERIA (11) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1400m here last time. Can feature in the finish.
