GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Gushichanno Hoshi, Bicorn and Bush Tesoro taking up the running over Final Sword and Interroad. BUSH TESORO (11) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by one length over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from seven runs. Big chance once again. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (3) improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BICORN (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1300m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Major player. FINAL SWORD (8) bounced back last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
