GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Ric Torachan has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RUM BALL (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner. MEGA FLASH (7) improved last time out to score by a neck after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. UP FELIZ (2) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Reunites with Makoto Okabe who has two wins when on board. One of the main contenders. RIC TORACHAN (5) was fourth in a 1400m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
