GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Binary Star and Wrapping Box leading the way. RYUNO TSUKAI (5) was an impressive winner last time over 820m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on her rivals. Should measure up again. MY CHARGE (10) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a nose at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and two minor placings. Among the leading chances. MOSHO (1) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at this track two starts back then got the job done by 1.75 lengths last time out after being prominent at the corner over 820m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. LOGO MOCO (11) took advantage of the good draw and landed on the pace last start before tiring to finish fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1230m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
