GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Daihasshu, Crown Freed and T O Smith, closely followed by Village Lumiere and Still The One. T O SMITH (7) is racing well this preparation, including a last start win over 1300m at this track to bring up four wins from seven runs in the campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. DAIHASSHU (8) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Yukihito Nagata who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Likely to feature. CROWN FREED (10) reunites with Ren Hasegawa after scoring with ease over 1400m at this track last time. Form at this track is solid. Capable of a big run. MOON PASS GOLD (4) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish ninth over the same trip at this track after he had travelled in a rearwards position. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention.
