GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Sanono Gold probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. COLOMBAGES (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing sixth over 1400m at this track last start. Better than the last effort - appeals this time. SANONO GOLD (6) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 12 lengths from the winner in tenth at this course and distance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. SHORT STOP (5) made progress last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. NOISY APPROACH (9) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 8 lengths back in eighth. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
