GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Schwarz Naga and Red Coral pressing for the lead with B B Monolog and Curren Meramera close at hand. SCHWARZ NAGA (11) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 1300m at this track to bring up six wins from eight runs in the campaign. Manato Hida who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. SHONAN DADAN (7) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Has won three races at this course and distance from seven tries. A bold showing is likely. RED CORAL (10) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading for most of the way before fading late to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. CURREN MERAMERA (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but disappointed when 12th over 1750m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Can do better this time.

On a four run winning streak. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track July 12 over 1300m defeating Minatono Yoko with 54kg at $1.20. The run before that favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track June 26 over 1300m defeating Brown Kings with 54kg at $1.80. Rates highly. Big chance.
