GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Asaga Kuru. ASAGA KURU (4) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 7 lengths. Looks well placed and she is sure to go well. KURO GO (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MUKORITTA (9) drew wide when resuming over 1300m at this track last start and wound up in sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Loves racing here and has managed two wins from four visits. Manato Hida who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Fitter and expected to run well. CROWN MAKANA (1) raced on the pace over 1300m at this track last time and went on to win by one length. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Not to be discounted.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run won by 1.0 len at this track May 2 over 1300m defeating Bizantino carrying 56kg at $4.60. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on April 19 over 1300m, 2 len behind Acqua Virile carrying 56kg at $8.30. Likely to go well from the rails draw.
