GOING:

Race 10 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Crowd Noise to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. CROWD NOISE (9) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Worth noting Yamamotoya Taizo goes aboard. Top chance to salute again. ZENDAN SKY (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Fitter and can figure in the finish. MOKARA ACE (2) improved last start but found one better over 1230m at this track. Brings solid form to this contest. Big chance. DANCE IN THE RING (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth over 1230m at this track. Nicely placed to turn things around.
