GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Cakewalk. CAKEWALK (3) displayed plenty of early toe second-up and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Can make it back-to-back wins here. SEI ONYX (4) did his best work late last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Nicely placed and is among the leading chances. KEN BRIDGE KANADE (8) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1400m here after win at this track at the previous outing. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins, and has claims. FUERTE TESORO (11) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track after a win here at the previous outing. In contention this time.
