GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Arma Blade, Great Furioso and Tsukaino Kizuna to control the tempo. GREAT FURIOSO (9) was successful last start over 1800m at this track, getting home by 3 lengths to make it five wins on the bounce. Rates as the one to beat. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (4) is racing well, scoring two back before finishing third last time out over 1700m at this track. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with two wins from four runs and is among the leading chances. RAMPAGE CITY (3) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1200m at this track. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. ARMA BLADE (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by a neck over 1600m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
