GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Major Tesoro who should kick up along the paint. B B DAIGO (10) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Starts from the same barrier and is likely to be there at the finish again. LOT FIGHTER (11) changes rider since a solid effort last time for fifth. Scored a win at this track and trip prior. Can feature prominently. MAJOR TESORO (1) finished fifth at his latest outing. Has a very good record over today's journey with five wins from eight starts. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Capable of testing this field. LUMEN (7) won at this track two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins so is worth another chance.
