GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Cresco Thunder and Do The Catch leading the way over Yoshino Tarumae. DO THE CATCH (5) was flying with three wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can bounce right back. MERRY SENSE (10) wound up strongly last time out to finish a neck adrift in second over 1400m at this track when fresh from a break. Fitter and a leading player again. CRESCO THUNDER (3) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Solid run last start and is among the chances again. YOSHINO TARUMAE (6) was below best form latest when eighth over 820m at this track. Worth including on best form.
