GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Stun Grenade and Bellagio Haruka ahead of Daisy Flash and Glint Star. BELLAGIO HARUKA (6) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Will take catching. DAISY FLASH (3) has had two runs since a break, the latest a third over 1400m here beaten 3 lengths. Generally runs well third up from a spell so a big run is likely. FLEURIR (9) is a 11-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this venue over 1400m, beaten 4 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. GLINT STAR (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 7 lengths away in fifth over 1230m at this course. Can earn some minor money.
