GOING:

Race 2 850m

Track:      

Solid tempo headed by Higashi Brave and Blau Horizon. LOGI MUSTANG (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 7 lengths at this track over 850m. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Will prove tough to beat. BLAU HORIZON (10) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 850m at this track. Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Among the leading chances. HIGASHI BRAVE (6) stuck on well last start to finish second over 850m at this track after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage and can take this out. FAST PASS KEY (2) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
