GOING:

Race 4 820m

Track:      

Strong early tempo from the fliers Buon Hope, Kasamatsuno Lighto and La La Kerria. BUON HOPE (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 820m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. KEY OF HEART (7) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 820m at this track, an improvement on her first-up sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. LA LA KERRIA (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 820m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. KASAMATSUNO LIGHTO (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 16 when beaten 7 lengths into fifth at this track over 820m. Placed to advantage and can make amends.

The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on April 2 over 820m, 1.1 len behind Mumty Hat carrying 56kg at $18.70.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 12 at this track on March 21 over 1400m, 10 len behind Grun Wald with 54kg at $132.80. Second-up 4th of 12 at this track on April 10 over 820m, 5 len behind Ryuno Hinako with 54kg at $3. Should be near her top.
