GOING:

Race 7 1870m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hernandez leading the way. HERNANDEZ (7) made it four straight wins when resuming over 1700m at this track last start, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. LIVINGSTONE (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then settled well back last start when 11 lengths away in tenth over 1230m at this track. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. MEISHO NITOBE (2) is a 10-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. MEISHO HINKAKU (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into eighth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
