GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Minnade Gambaru to take charge ahead of Song For You at a solid tempo. MINNADE GAMBARU (3) got the job done last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from four starts. Taiga Kurihara has been the pilot at his last two wins. Sure to run well. SONG FOR YOU (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AIO LANAKILA (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FRAISES TARTE (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
