GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo expected with Clark Tesoro, Bon Weekend and Curl Maji prominent. CURL MAJI (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Likely improver with strong prospects. CLARK TESORO (6) finished 0.9 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1300m at this track, an improvement on his first-up eighth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BON WEEKEND (10) finished sixth over 1300m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Winning rider Toru Takeyoshi sticks. Certainly one to consider. A SHIN SYNCHRO (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
