GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track: AW     True  

Slick tempo with Raipachi to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. RAIPACHI (3) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 5.5 lengths, over today's journey at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. GUILLERMO (6) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led throughout to score by half a length over 1500m at this track. Should measure up again. NOBLE PROCESS (7) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 1500m at this track last time out. Best form puts her right in this. YUMEMIRU TSUKI (11) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
