GOING: S

Race 2 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Royal Epic is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. BIG PHU KAO (8) is back from a spell of ten months and brings solid fresh form to the table. Strung together 10 wins before the break, the latest over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the placings on this circuit and should continue on his winning way fresh up in this. NICHIRIN (6) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from six outings. Should be thereabouts. HEARTHFIRE (15) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Expected to be in the finish again. KASTROM GALE (2) produced a better run last start, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
