GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Czerny should find the front with Kaito King and Hubble on her heels. ONIASHI (1) has built a long sequence of minor placings, the latest a third over 1400m at this track. Drawn to enjoy the run of the race so he gets his chance. KAITO KING (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. CZERNY (6) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing fifth over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to feature. MASKED SAMURAI (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
