GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Lot Precious, Mayo Tesoro and Eyes On Me will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Never Land and Koyu Masani Kimi. KOYU MASANI KIMI (11) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 30 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1300m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. LOT PRECIOUS (10) showed good early pace over 1300m at this track last time and kept going to score by a neck. Should cross from wide out. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GRANDIS (5) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MAYO TESORO (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1300m. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
