GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Eurosita Beat and Oken Duke leading the charge. EUROSITA BEAT (5) is a strong first-up performer who resumes after a break of ten weeks. Was in top form before a spell with two straight wins, the latest over 1500m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. OKEN DUKE (8) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 2000m at Kawasaki, beaten 7 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LUNA FORTUNA (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DIAMOND BEACH (9) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten 3.5 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Not to be discounted.
