GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Eze Village and Heshikiri leading the charge. SPRIGGAN (5) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish third over 1400m at this track. Overdue and gets his chance to break through. HESHIKIRI (1) went forward from the low draw last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish second over 820m at this track. Ready to go one better. AKKESHI (3) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 820m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. EZE VILLAGE (9) used the low draw last time and bounced straight to the lead, turning in front before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Sure to give a sight.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 at this track on May 27 over 820m, neck behind Fiorino with 57kg at $2.60. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at this track on May 13 over 820m, neck behind Ena Drive with 57kg at $10.40. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside gate.
