Race 3 1500m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Sizzling pace from Gambariki, Sky List and Kenilworth locking horns ahead of Gold Breeder and Margot Festa. KENILWORTH (9) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 7 lengths over 1600m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is the testing material. MARGOT FESTA (1) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 2 lengths into fifth over 1500m at Urawa. Fitter so expect a better run this time. BILLIONAIRE BOY (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths starting at $1.80. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GOLD BREEDER (4) raced on the pace over 1500m at this track last time and went on to win by 2.5 lengths. Solid claims.
