GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Pace looks strong with Alpha Sirius pushing forward from out wide along with Kitano Condor in closer. KAGA BABEL (10) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths. Can feature again. KITANO CONDOR (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at this track. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position and can take this out. ALPHA SIRIUS (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1600m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Well placed and in the mix. TIRAGE (4) finished eighth over 1600m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
