Race 7 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace likely from G T Spica, Cry Me A River and Bound To Win battling for the lead from Marino Ballerina. ORENO AIBA (2) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Ren Hasegawa retains the mount. Going up a level this time but he can win again. MARINO BALLERINA (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to take this out. CRY ME A RIVER (10) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start then boxed on well to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. G T SPICA (9) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
