GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Forewind leading Jackson Roots. JACKSON ROOTS (10) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Has seven wins from 14 starts at this circuit. Bold showing expected. MEISHO GUTS (3) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. JUSTIN TRUENO (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten a long neck. Has a win and five minor placings at this journey from nine starts and shapes as one to consider. KIKUNO CRUIJFF (7) improved last time out finishing in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
