GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Sweet'n Bitter and Lillian First taking up the running over Ho O Brights. HO O BRIGHTS (1) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Nicely placed to score once again. FRUIT WAGON (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into seventh after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KOMOMOCHAN (11) is yet to break through after 33 starts. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Drawn out but will wind up late. Solid top-three chance. HARU NOTE (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 0.6 lengths over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
