Race 7 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. DAVAY SUCRE (3) scored last start by 3 lengths at this track over 1750m. Yet to be beaten here, scoring four wins from as many starts. One of the major players. MIDGE CHAMP (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including two wins. Should be in the finish. PUREA LEGEND (12) improved last start to finish second over 1750m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HAKUAI DEMAIN (11) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can fill another top-three spot.
