GOING: G

Race 10 900m

Track: GOOD     True  

Slick tempo assured from Blau Horizon and Turina Wright leading the charge. TURINA WRIGHT (4) found a couple marginally better when returning from a layoff last start over 900m at this track after being prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WINDSOR ROAR (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KOTONO SANSHO (5) ran below his best last start when finishing ninth from a wide draw over this course and distance. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. HIME KAGURA (10) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 900m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is worth following up.
