GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Specialight and Saimon Morning pressing for the lead with King Rickey and Kitano Polish close at hand. SPECIALIGHT (5) showed good pace and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be underestimated. ZENDAN SAKURA (8) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to figure in the finish. S K PLAN (7) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has claims on best figures. KITANO POLISH (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track. No surprise to see her in the frame.
