GOING:

Race 9 1750m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Nishino Gawain and Raijin Bolt leading the charge. T M PYRO DAN (1) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over 1300m at this track. Can continue the winning form. HERAKLES TESORO (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1300m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. NISHINO GAWAIN (4) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end before most recently finished third over 1750m at this track. This looks a winnable race. STEVE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
