GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Hakkyoi and Gray Storm leading the charge. GRAY STORM (9) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. Big chance once again. PRIME LINE (1) was back from a spell last start and finished fourth over 1600m at this track. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Leading chance. STROM (3) didn't feature last start when sixth over 1600m at this track. Ideally placed and can feature. WIN AWARD (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second two starts back then got the job done by half a length last time out over 1300m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.
