GOING:

Race 2 850m

Track:      

Strong tempo from Araucaria, Ho O Ranger and Courante. Araucaria, Ho O Ranger and Courante can set a strong tempo. ARAUCARIA (1) finished fourth last start over 850m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Well placed and expected to feature. COURANTE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 850m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAITO RUBY (2) drifted back and never threatened at her last run a week ago, finishing tenth over 850m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects. LORD AL FINE (4) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out but should run well back in easier company now.
