GOING:

Race 4 900m

Track:      

Lot Vigorous to take charge ahead of King Caviar at a strong tempo. TAKENO SAIKO (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in ninth over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LOT VIGOROUS (2) had been racing okay but he was safely held last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track. Form here at this journey is very good with six wins from eight runs. Best form puts him right in this. DAIMON (7) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1750m at this track, finishing 12 lengths back in seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects. I MADE IT (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 10 lengths over 1400m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
