GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with O K Thunder and Doremifong pressing hard closely followed by Bois Etoiles and Investor. O K THUNDER (3) entire who has recorded a placing in his past three outings. Beaten as favourite last start at this track on April 17 over 1400m when second. Barrier should allow for a comfortable run in transit. Main contender. BOIS ETOILES (2) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 1400m at this track after she did her best work in the closing stages. That followed a win the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. DOREMIFONG (6) has been racing well without winning. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered three minor placings so another big run is likely. INVESTOR (5) improved last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
