GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Roys Peak, Four Side Nine and Ecoro Falcon. ECORO FALCON (6) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a strong association with Minoru Miyagawa who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Should be in the finish. NEO BRAVE (4) showed little early dash last start but found the line strongly to get up for second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over this course and distance. Well placed to feature again. DANON DANCER (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. FOUR SIDE NINE (1) ran well below his best last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into sixth at $3. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the better hopes.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at this track on March 1 over 1600m, 8 len behind Win Wurde carrying 57kg at $3. The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at this track on February 8 over 1400m, neck behind Ecoro Falcon with 57kg at $10.20. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by a neck at this track February 8 over 1400m defeating Four Side Nine with 57kg at $2.20. The start before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track January 25 over 1400m defeating Skylight with 57kg at $5.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.
