GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Crown Gustav leading the way. CROWN GUSTAV (6) is in fine form having recorded back-to-back wins. Went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1600m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. LILABAD (7) started at $3 last time and ran below expectations. Capable of much better having won two starts back. Nicely placed to turn things around. SHISEI DAIKI (1) scored two runs back then sat on the pace last time when 3 lengths away in second over 1700m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Likely to be competitive. BLU CLASSICO (5) finished fifth last start after racing on the pace for much of the way. Solid prospects.

Going well. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on May 29 over 1700m, 3 len behind Three Legend carrying 57kg at $9.40. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track May 15 over 1200m defeating Silver Mirage carrying 57kg at $2.90. Rates highly. Big chance.
