GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Smart Numen, Squid Run and Radiant Horse to control the tempo. SQUID RUN (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. INGRID ROSE (4) was prominent from the outset when third over 1400m at this track last time out. Form here at this trip is sound. Oyama Ryutarou stays aboard. Among the leading chances. RADIANT HORSE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ROCK A BALLAD (8) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
