GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Logi Melior driving forward from an outside gate and Julep Star also pushing ahead. CARLE POMELO (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1700m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths and making it two straight wins. Expected to go close again. KAGAYAKI FIGHTER (2) finished second over 1500m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 9. Capable of playing a major role. JULEP STAR (6) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1700m. Boasts three wins here. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and has winning claims on best figures. ABLE MAN (7) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing sixth over 2000m at this track last start. Has a solid record at this circuit. Solid claims on best form.
