GOING: S

Race 8 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Bright Flash and Hisama Win can be prominent. BRIGHT FLASH (4) is a talented galloper who scored at this track last time and is unbeaten after three runs. Only other try fresh was a winning debut and can make it two from two. SMASH THROUGH (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to run well again. SATISFIER (8) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.1 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Strong claims on best figures. ROCKET HOME RUN (5) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
