GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track: AW      

Expecting a strong gallop with Trio and Cinq Raffine taking up the running over Good Morning. CINQ RAFFINE (6) scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell last start. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. AFRO GITA (3) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. GULF BREEZE (5) resumed over 800m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and this looks well within her grasp. LUDWIG (1) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 6 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish.

Second-up 6th of 10 at Kawasaki on April 3 over 1400m, 6 len behind Bear Nukasanaide carrying 56kg at $3.50. Well drawn and looks a genuine hope.
