GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Lux Mighty to take up the running with Aoi Rikimaru and Hekireki Issen close at hand. HEKIREKI ISSEN (7) just missed last time out when a head away in second at this track over 1400m. Can go one better here. AOI RIKIMARU (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Should be poised just off the lead and could prove tough to beat. I'VE COME BACK (8) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the ability to take care of this field. AOI ALPHA ONE (5) finished adrift in sixth last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and can make the frame.
