GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Strong early tempo assured from Fouette and Lai Lua Ke Kai leading the way over Derma Okuridashi. NOTHING ON YOU (1) settled well back when resuming last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over today's journey at this track. Well placed to feature again. DERMA OKURIDASHI (10) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1700m. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. POR LA NOCHE (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 30 lengths over 1700m at this track. Nicely drawn and she should be in the finish again. RUSH EOLICA (7) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Fitter and is a leading contender.
