GOING: G

Race 8 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Foggara to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. FOGGARA (10) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 2000m at this track to make it two wins from four runs this time in. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Sure to be in the finish. HATANO LA TOUR (2) lines up on the back of a 7 length fourth over 2000m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. MEISHO TOWANI (5) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 2000m at this track when beaten 4 lengths. Looks tough to stop. COCOLI ISLAND (3) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fourth over 2000m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature.
