GOING:

Race 10 1230m

Track:      

Sizzling pace from February Sky, Ena Fukukitaru and Reimu locking horns ahead of Daigo Ryujin and Diana Zelos. REIMU (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1230m at this track a month ago, getting home by 7 lengths. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. DAIGO RYUJIN (4) finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. IRON MOON (2) was narrowly beaten into second when second up last start at this track over 1230m. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from seven starts. One of the genuine contenders. DIANA ZELOS (1) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1230m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish.
