GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Good pace from Corin Judge, Hattori and Sei Good Luck going forward. RAMPAGE CITY (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can get the job done. HATTORI (6) was an emphatic winner last time over 1700m at this track with today's rider Katsuto Maruno engaged. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. SEI GOOD LUCK (3) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by one length. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. LIL FROST (4) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at this track but carries less weight today. Rates well and looks an each way chance on best form.
