GOING:

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Lord Ley Line. KAR SMOKY (3) is racing well, scoring two back here before finishing a neck from the winner in second last time over 1400m at this track. Best form puts him right in this. LORD LEY LINE (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6-length win over 1400m at this track. Has a formidable combination with Minoru Miyagawa who has been aboard for his last three wins. Expecting another bold showing. NAMURA SWAGGER (7) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths to make it three on the bounce. Hard to fault and looks a terrific hope again. HARUNO SAMSON (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
