GOING:

Race 3 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Heavy Kyu, Destin and Falcon Ace. HEAVY KYU (6) was quickly into stride over 1500m at Nagoya last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. DESTIN (8) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing two starts back before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time. In the mix. BRING BANG BANG (7) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track when fifth. Capable of sharp improvement. LAVATERA JANE (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Likely to get the run of the race. Top-three contender.
