GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Crown Freed leading the way. NISHINO SUNSTONE (7) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1300m when he was beaten half a length. This looks a nice race for him to return to the winners' stall. MINAMIJUJISEI (1) got a long way back when 13 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CROWN FREED (5) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, last start over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three claims. PALM BEACH (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
