GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Galway Girl, Blue Tice and Win Fierte to take up the running at a decent tempo. WIN FIERTE (2) sat on the pace before tiring to finish fourth when resuming over 1400m at this track last time out. Form here at this journey is very good with four wins from seven runs and could be hard to beat in this suitable contest. ALSAFI (5) scored first up two runs ago but couldn't back it up last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back. GALWAY GIRL (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and five placings from nine tries. Winning claims on best figures. KATSUNO THANK YOU (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Should be thereabouts.
