GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace with Angkor Guerlain, Tokino Pirates and Sanei Condor paving the way. SUN DUBUQUE (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from six runs. Big chance once again. SANEI CONDOR (5) met with solid support last start over 1600m at this track when second. Major player. TOKINO PIRATES (1) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1600m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. ANGKOR GUERLAIN (2) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing fourth over 1600m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
