GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sound Cheerful. SOUND CHEERFUL (7) placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten half a length, over 1300m at this track. Should be camped just off the leaders. Can get off the mark here. PATRIOTISM (4) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. DAITA SIRIUS (6) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 900m at this track. Can give this shake. KITANO VULCAN (2) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Will trim down second-up and expect another forward showing.
