GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Never Land, Cakewalk and Koyu Masani Kimi in advance of Tagano Alias and Minatono Yoko. GRANDIS (2) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 1400m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Draws nicely and expected to go well. TAGANO ALIAS (3) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a neck over 1400m at this track to make it two in a row. Form at this track is solid. Will prove tough to beat. KOYU MASANI KIMI (9) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths, last start over 1300m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. NEVER LAND (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1300m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
