GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Secret Matter taking up the running ahead of Grass Vigor and Skill Hunter. SKILL HUNTER (12) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten 1.5 lengths. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and four minor placings from seven runs. A bold showing is likely. SECRET MATTER (4) made progress last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Has his share of ability and could be hard to beat in this suitable race. SACRIFICE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1700m here. Nicely placed to take this out. HELD (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite solid market support when sixth at this course and distance. Soichi Kato who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Capable of mixing it with these.
