GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo from Country Victor, Forest Takin and Guerriere Kic. KUROSHIO BANZAI (5) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when fourth. Strong winning chance. GUERRIERE KIC (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done again. COUNTRY VICTOR (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1800m at this track. Perfectly placed and could take plenty of stopping. LALA JACARANDA (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
