GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Varuna, Magnifique Briller and Golden Lei taking up the running over Hudson Hawk and Mikino Ichigo. GOLDEN LEI (6) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 5 lengths. Winning rider Tatsunori Sugawara stays aboard and he is a key runner. MIKINO ICHIGO (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to return to winning form. HUDSON HAWK (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BELLUM FELIX (11) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In the mix.
