GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Canterbury Hayate taking charge. FIGLIO ALLEGRO (8) grade 2 placegetter. Has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a second most recently over 1300m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEINER ILARGI (2) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1300m at this track three weeks ago. Minoru Miyagawa has been the pilot at his last three wins. Expecting a bold showing. MCGILLIS (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five outings. Expect a bold showing. GEMPACHI LIBERO (7) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1400m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again.
