GOING:

Race 7 1700m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Ardour Grow and Daino Hide kicking up to hold out the next wave. FATUM (9) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and expect he is primed for a big first-up performance. ALLURING SORREL (11) scored two back at Kasamatsu but was below her best last time when eighth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver. POKAPOKA TIME (7) turned things around last start and scored by 4 lengths over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. ARDOUR GROW (4) turned in a solid run last time when boxing on to finish third at this track. Extra journey is a plus now and gets chance to show his best.
