GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Gushichanno Hoshi, Ascot Roman and Go All The Way leading the way. EVELYN TESORO (11) narrowly missed last time when second over 1400m at this track to add to a frustrating sequence of results. In-form four-year-old filly so a big run is anticipated. GO ALL THE WAY (10) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. Can measure up again. ASCOT ROMAN (4) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Recent form sound. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at this track on March 6 over 1400m, neck behind Popping Berry carrying 53kg at $1.20.
