GOING:

Race 12 920m

Track:      

Expecting Water Riche to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. MARUMORI HAPPINESS (9) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by a nose. Looks sure to run well again and can make it back-to-back wins. SKILL HUNTER (2) was in the firing line all the way and finished a very close second last start over 1500m at this track to make it four minor placings in a row. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. WATER RICHE (4) hadn't been far away prior to finishing adrift in tenth last start over 1400m at this track. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Can give backers a great sight. BOSCO VELOCE (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago and drops in journey today from the latest outing when second over 1700m at this track, finishing 3 lengths off the winner. Key runner.
