GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Haseno Express and Ricochet can pave the way. WARA (7) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. RICOCHET (6) finished fourth over 1200m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Second up record is very strong. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. HASENO EXPRESS (3) was last at the races when he finished ninth over 1200m at Ohi on April 30. Has to be respected. JACK ORANGE (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1200m at this track after he gave away a big start. Can break the run of outs.
