GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Sarasara Hair and King's Roar. SARASARA HAIR (9) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then scored by 3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1400m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on current form she is one of the chief contenders. ALCARAZ (8) finished second when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is one of the chief contenders. ANGEL NUMBER (2) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1500m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to cope. DAIGO SEIRYU (1) was sent out at $33.60 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Don't underestimate.
