GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Furnace Creek should spear straight to the front of the small field. FURNACE CREEK (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in six starts, including three wins. Will be hard to stop. KAMIGAMINO UTAGE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Has the talent to produce another win. T O LYRA (1) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1600m at this track, clocking in 7 lengths from the winner. Strong top-three chance. RECIPRO TURBO (4) raced below her best last time when seventh over 1600m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
