GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Arabian Rain leading the way. ARABIAN RAIN (6) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. ETERNAL JEWEL (5) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last start. Rates highly and is worth another try. WIN GLADNESS (2) started at $5.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 2000m. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. LARGE FIELD (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 28 when beaten 9 lengths into sixth at this track over 1500m after being handy for much of the way. In the right race and should be about the money.
