Race 7 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo expected with Ocea Hartman, Meisho Ogishi and Gruss Gott prominent. POSITIVITY (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 21 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. UNCLE THUNDER (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $4. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO OGISHI (1) showed good speed here last time over 1400m until tiring late and finishing seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. One of the main contenders. BALLSY (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
