GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Grand Bonheur taking up the running ahead of Danon Justice and Danon Glister. DANON GLISTER (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when ninth, beaten 11 lengths. Expect him to play a major role. LEVEL THREE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Worth noting Minoru Miyagawa goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PEISHA WAKIA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAND BONHEUR (9) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when ninth over 1600m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
