GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Good pace with Lord Ley Line, Herrschaft and Ecoro Falcon matching motors. LORD LEY LINE (4) ran below his best last time over this track when finishing fifth after being sent out at $2.80. Has a strong record here at this journey with eight wins from 15 runs. Will be hard to stop. FOUR SIDE NINE (7) finished rearward over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Form here at this journey is very good with six wins from nine runs. Best form puts him right in this. ECORO FALCON (6) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on July 20, finishing ninth over 1300m at this track. Starts this prep with Taichi Nagamori taking charge. Reunites with jockey Taichi Nagamori who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Capable of running a bold race. DANON JUSTICE (2) next best.
