GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Sun Suiren and Onriedo matching motors, closely followed by Maul. SUN SUIREN (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MAUL (8) finished sixth when resuming at this track two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MEINER DESTELLO (6) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YOSHIO DRIVE (7) lines up on the back of a 7 length fourth over 1400m at this track. Has solid form at this course with eight wins and eight minor placings from 28 starts. Solid top-three hope.
