GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Surreal and Miss Lemon leading from Aster Nilgiri. MEINER DANK (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 7 lengths at this track. Boasts three wins here. Ren Hasegawa who has three wins when partnering stays on. Major player. ASTER NILGIRI (9) did well to score here two runs ago then last time out was second over 1400m at this track, beaten a nose. Key runner. SURREAL (1) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner as public elect over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MISS LEMON (3) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
