GOING:

Race 10 800m

Track: AW     True  

No noted leader but Stella Seiko, Ryuno Asraam and Nexus Edge will be prominent. CARD (9) kept coming only to just miss as favourite last start over 800m at this track. Should be near her peak for this. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. HAKUAI GOJIRO (1) missed the frame when resuming last start over 800m at this track but wasn't all that far from the winner. Races well when second-up. Solid top-three chance. RYUNO ASRAAM (8) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. SATSUKI SKY (6) settled well back last time out before finishing tenth over 900m at Kawasaki. Top-three chance.
