GOING:

Race 10 820m

Track:      

Kuschel to set a strong early tempo joined by Brigliadoro pushing on from an outside draw. KUSCHEL (5) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring dominantly over this track and trip. Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins and six placings. In form and should go well again. WAKINO QUEEN (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth. Nicely placed to make amends. BAKURETSU MAHO (1) was never in contention when resuming last start. Should improve with that run under the belt and can make her presence felt. RULE MAPLE (9) also holds genuine claims on best form and is worth including.
