GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Digital Scion and Gurenno Arashi taking up the running over Freddie Barows. DIGITAL SCION (10) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1750m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Has the ability to figure prominently. GURENNO ARASHI (4) is a last-start winner over 1300m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.8 lengths. Has a strong record here, including nine wins. Should run well again. KASHINO LUCAS (9) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1750m at this track. Boasts seven wins here. Can measure up again. ANEROID (6) turned things around last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 900m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently. Include in all combinations.
