GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Meiner Sahara has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DAIRIN WOLF (7) was building to a win before breaking through last time by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sure to be in the finish again. MEINER SAHARA (3) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. FEB KIRANAH (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $8.70. Well placed and can give this a shake. ABIERTO (2) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2 lengths over 900m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.
