GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Red Coral and Zendan Kizuna leading the way over Fairy Tink. ZENDAN KIZUNA (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, adding to a fine series of results this time in work. Likely to measure up again. TAISEI RAFAGA (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from six outings. Big chance once again. FAIRY TINK (2) went fast early over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by one length. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. SMILE FOR YOU (5) was sent out at $17.30 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Top three prospects.
