GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Expecting Mitsukane Moon to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. CHEVRON KELLY (1) showed good pace and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Top contender. MITSUKANE MOON (7) was second at this track over 1000m, beaten a head. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Should be in the finish. RAIFORT (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1000m at this track a week ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KARUSTONE DELIGHT (2) produced a better run last start, finishing fourth over 1000m at this track. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
