GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo with O K Thunder and My Forever prominent. O K THUNDER (2) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a second most recently over 1700m at Nagoya. Tackling a more suitable race so he is perfectly placed to score. MY FOREVER (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Best form puts him right in this. ACE OF SPADES (5) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can make amends. SAKURA TOP VIP (4) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track, beaten 42 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
