GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Dream Sunday leading King Prince. SATONO ALIVE (1) started favourite last time over 1300m at this track but could only manage third. The extra journey should play into his hands. Will pay to follow up. KING PRINCE (5) finished back in tenth over 1800m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Prepared to overlook that last run and expecting sharp improvement here. SWORD CUT (6) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1800m at this track. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role. DREAM SUNDAY (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
