GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Danon Cook, Happy Gift and Seven Seconds to take up the running at a decent tempo. HAPPY GIFT (10) got home by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. RHEIN PORTULACA (12) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. KATSUNO NINTH (8) is a distance specialist who was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SEVEN SECONDS (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
