GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Despite the small field Add One, Isla Azul and Dia Graf can set a strong tempo. ADD ONE (3) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track. Right at home over this distance, with eight wins and nine minor placings from 23 runs and is right in this. DIA GRAF (2) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MUKIZU (5) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. ISLA AZUL (4) finished fifth here at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
