GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Musik Horen, King Rex and Laurie going forward. KING REX (9) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 6 lengths away in second at this track. Will take beating here. HIROKI (6) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing second over 900m at Kawasaki on May 16 2025. Likely improver and is among the leading chances. CELESTELLA (3) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at Kawasaki. Expected to feature in the finish this time. MJUK TIARA (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
