GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Miscela Dorata, Tamamo Masurao and Cosmo Seawolf vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. SASAYAKI (7) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from five runs. Leading player again. MISCELA DORATA (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 3 lengths when resuming last time out over 1300m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. CASTLE TOP (9) got home by 2 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Sure to be competitive. HIGHEST POINT (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1300m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
