GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Elegant Fleur. SUCCESS CANON (7) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Toyokazu Tano is a key engagement. Can do much better this time. KEIAI MANUKA (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce right back. ELEGANT FLEUR (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago then last time out finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SOUND HERO (2) didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Well placed and should be about the mark.
