GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Hot pace certain with Sound Tutu, Sexy Cat and Eiyu Jumeirah keen to take up the running. JOSHO TAIGA (4) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 1.3 lengths over 820m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SOUND TUTU (8) was well in commission last start over 1230m at this track when fifth. Form at this track is solid. Leading contender. APOSTROPHE (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. SEXY CAT (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in fourth over 1230m at this track. Can give a sight.
