GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Zultanite. ZULTANITE (5) went forward last start over 1000m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a head. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TONY OCEANS (11) was well supported last time over 1000m at this track but could only manage second. Freshened for this. Will prove tough to beat. KURA ORYU (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1000m. Has a good gate and gets his chance to break through. PEONY (4) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent appearance over 1000m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
