GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

A Shin Zest, Ichigohitofuri and Ostfalen will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Diamante Blu and Key Joker. OSTFALEN (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1500m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. KEY JOKER (11) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored as favourite over 1500m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. On his best form he is capable of another big performance. RAKISH (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1500m here. Well placed and is a hope. DIAMANTE BLU (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second here two starts back then landed the prize by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
