GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Cryptic Code has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. CRYPTIC CODE (8) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish fifth. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. REAL BREEZY (10) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 920m, beaten a neck. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with five placings to his name. Expected to be in the finish. ALMA SERAPH (12) started at $3.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1500m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. AKINO IROKUSA (11) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when 11th over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back.
