GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. JAMBALAYA (6) was in the money two starts back here but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth at this track over 1500m. Shapes as a key runner. HEKIREKI ISSEN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Sure to run well. BRILLO DORADO (2) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. REALISATION (9) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fifth. Will be putting in the big strides late and can crack the top three.
