Race 2 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace likely from Star Cruising, Hardboiled and Win Liberale battling for the lead from Ginga Express. STAR CRUISING (6) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when third. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. YAMANO IMPACT (1) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing fifth over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed here and can finally break through. GINGA EXPRESS (5) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the ability to bounce back. HARDBOILED (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1300m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
