GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Icarus Cafe is expected to lead at a slick tempo. KANOSEINO KEMONO (7) consistent gelding who is generally about the mark. Good effort when third last start at this track over 1700m. Looks very tough to beat. ICARUS CAFE (10) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track. Likely to push forward again from the wide draw. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. ROUTE SHINE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. MEISHO MARBLE (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fifth over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
