GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Desafiador heading them off. TABEZAKARI (4) was well fancied last start over 1500m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. He is nicely poised to go one better this time. BACK UP AGAIN (1) is an eight-start maiden who finished well back at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track after she gave away a big start. She gets a big swing in her draw and is worth one more chance. NAMURA FIXER (11) started at $2.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1500m. Nicely placed to bounce back. Follow your money. CALTAGIRONE (6) held on well to finish second last time out over 1500m at this track after leading for much of the way. Strong top-three prospect.
