GOING:

Race 3 1600m

Track: AW     True  

Omasa, Mountain Laurel and Mumty Prince to take up the running at a decent tempo. MOUNTAIN LAUREL (3) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he was successful over 1200m at this track on November 7. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Among the leading chances. SEIEI (9) is racing well. Scored two back then finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1600m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Winning rider Sho Yoshii sticks. Likely to feature. MUMTY PRINCE (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is right in the mix again. LADY KILLER (11) drifted back from the inside draw last start then attacked the line with gusto to get the verdict by a nose win at this track over 1400m. Can feature in the finish again.
