GOING:

Race 7 1870m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Alan leading the way. MEISHO HACHIMAKI (6) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over 1400m at this track. Likely to measure up again. HIGH LOVE LEGEND (3) showed early speed from a good draw last start then battled on well for third, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ALAN (7) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. T O HARRISON (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
