GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Nac Regalo, G T Magical and Kazeno Hagakure battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. KAZENO HAGAKURE (13) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1200m contest at this track by a neck. Excels over this journey with two wins from four runs. Will be hard to beat. BIG ROYAL (11) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1200m at this track. Solid chance. G T MAGICAL (9) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. SHREWSBURY (12) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then got the job done by a head last time out over 1200m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
