GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured with Don Kronos and Akino Smart leading the way over Wakuwaku Dream. DON KRONOS (5) ran below expectations last time out at this track, finishing sixth starting at $2.20. On his best form he is right in contention. AKINO SMART (1) went forward last start over 1300m at this track and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. One of the key runners. SAHARA VAINQUEUR (10) settled well back last start and never threatened when ninth over 1300m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but can feature on best form. WAKUWAKU DREAM (12) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1300m at this track. Can keep form and looks ready to run well again

Racing well recently. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 12 at this track on September 7 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Regolith with 57kg at $3.30. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 at this track on July 27 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Monch carrying 57kg at $3.90. The inside stall is a real bonus.
