GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Ken Bridge Knight to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. CHILLY GOLD (9) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at her latest appearance over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. G T GLOW (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 12th over 1400m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. YUTO THE EAST (6) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1300m at this track. Looks tough to stop. LUPUS TESORO (4) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1400m at this track on August 16. Worth plenty of thought.
