GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Bel Luke Xander should lead at a strong tempo. BEL LUKE XANDER (2) ran well below his best last time over 1400m at this track when seventh at $5.80. Has a very good record here with five wins from nine starts. Sure to go well. TRUE BAROWS (6) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Expected to take some stopping again. NEO BRAVE (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 21 over 1400m when he scored by a head. Winning rider Eita Inoue retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can salute again. BRAVE RULER (1) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when ninth over 1400m here. Can bounce back.
