GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Nothing Better taking up the running ahead of M T Pablo and Kunino Life. BIG BAND (2) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and went on to score by 3 lengths at this track over 1300m. Winning rider Seiya Tatara sticks. Likely to feature. NOTHING BETTER (4) held on well to finish second last time out over 1300m at this track after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and will take running down. M T PABLO (3) booted up from a low draw to lead last start and went on to score by a neck at this track over 1300m. Must be included. KHACHAPURI (5) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track when seventh. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
