GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Snake Eyes finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KING SPICA (11) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. LUX METEOR (2) didn't do a bad job to finish 1.5 lengths away in fourth last start over 1230m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SILENCE TIME (6) finished third behind Narita Shin at this track over this distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Has a very good record here including seven wins from 13 starts. One of the leading contenders. SAIL ON SAILOR (1) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track when seventh. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Most recently 7th of 12 at this track on May 22 over 820m, 3 len behind Generale with 57kg at $22.90. The start before that failed to make an impression; ran second last of 12 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, 11 len behind Satono Ruffian with 57kg at $19.40. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.
