GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Heshikiri and Wide Orden leading the way over Billowy Dada. GAMBARE BEAR (4) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only a neck over this course and distance. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from five tries and should be in the finish. BILLOWY DADA (1) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a neck after being prominent at the bend over 1400m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. HESHIKIRI (10) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1230m at this track on September 10. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Winning claims on best figures. EINHORN (9) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1400m at this track, beaten one length after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
