GOING:

Race 12 2200m

Track:      

Expecting God Treasure and Lilabad to press forward and set the tempo. LILABAD (7) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 2000m at Kawasaki, beaten half a length. That followed a win at Kawasaki the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. GOD TREASURE (2) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at this track after he was prominent at the bend. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. RYUNO LEGACY (12) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1800m, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. LAPLAND (5) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Must be included.
