GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Daijobanai heading them off. CHERRY RUSSIAN (6) scored by 3 lengths when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. OZMOPOLITAN (2) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1700m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Faces an easier assignment so she is set to turn things around. DAIJOBANAI (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Definite top-three chance. WONDER DUEL (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1400m at this track, beaten 26 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
