GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Meisho Felio to take up the running with Pua Lani and T M Bobby Dan close at hand. T M BOBBY DAN (5) led and kept going for a good win here two back then performed well again when third last start over this distance, beaten 2.2 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. MEISHO FELIO (7) was a gutsy winner two runs back then finished second over 900m at this track last time, adding to a long string of top-two finishes. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Big chance. PUA LANI (6) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 3 lengths over this trip. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Should be involved in the finish. ROSSO (10) is building in fitness so may be ready to show more.
