GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Saiseisei, Morning Haze and Hierba Buena battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SANONO AMERICAN (7) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. NEUJAHR (6) finished back in sixth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. MORNING HAZE (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start failed to finish over 1400m at this track. Likely improver worth including. HIERBA BUENA (4) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
