GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Ryuno Tabuk leading from Alpha Elizabeth and Shigerutsukimizake. SERVE THE MISSION (2) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1700m at this track. Has raced three times here and has never missed the frame. Expected to measure up. RYUNO TABUK (11) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ALPHA ELIZABETH (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. SKY OJI (9) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest ninth at this track over 2200m. Expecting improvement.
