GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Fast tempo assured with High Mobility, Famous Doctor and Metus going toe-to-toe. METUS (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can get the job done. BIX (5) was below his best last start when beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Record at this journey is strong with five wins from 13 runs and is among the leading chances. KIZOKU (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Among the chances again. VIVA MOON (9) was safely held last time when beaten 7 lengths into tenth at today's course and distance. Has a wide gate to contend with again. Among the better chances.
