GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Mar Dorado should find the front with Advance Dream and Iku An Ro on his heels. RUNE FACTOR (6) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. Second-up record is strong and is clearly the one they have to beat. THE BLUES (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DIVERTISION (8) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. ADVANCE DREAM (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
