GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo with Castle Pride possessing enough dash to find the front. FLIGHT MAGIC (2) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage sixth last start at this track over 1500m, beaten 21 lengths. Big chance with race experience now on board. SUPER HAYABUSA (4) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 36 lengths. Will improve and looks well placed. CASTLE PRIDE (8) was safely held when seventh on debut last start over 1000m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely improver who shapes as one to consider this line-up. ULYSSES BUTTERFLY (6) is having his second run after he failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 26 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1500m at this track. Expected to improve sharply and worth including.
