GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Hakusan Shuttle to set a strong tempo joined by Satono Sphere pressing on from an outside draw. SATONO SPHERE (12) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a neck over 1500m at this track. Should go forward from the awkward gate. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HAKUSAN SHUTTLE (2) got the prize two runs ago but was safely held last time out when fourth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. LUNAR PHASE (10) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1500m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. WHITTINGHAM (3) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1500m here. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
