GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Skip Light should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. AILE RICHELIEU (9) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1300m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should park just off the speed. Can feature. PEAK COLOR (1) was quickly into stride over 1300m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 6 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SKIP LIGHT (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has a high cruising speed and looks a place chance. ASUKA SEON (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1300m. Suitably placed and in the mix.
