Race 7 1750m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected from Francina Tesoro and T O Smith. FRANCINA TESORO (7) was in a different class last time when a dominant 6 lengths winner over 1750m at this track, adding to her terrific recent form. Hard to knock and should go well again. BRAVE DECISION (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over 1400m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves another chance. T O SMITH (9) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should cross from wide out. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. JAZZ DANCE (2) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1750m at this track, beaten 41 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
