GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Hernandez, Meisho Matsuri and Sand Empress leading the way. MEISHO MATSURI (7) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to bounce back. HERNANDEZ (5) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and must be respected. PUFF OF WIND (8) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw when fresh from a spell last start and led for home before finishing second over 1870m at this track. Top-three hope. THREE MISS LAPIS (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
