GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo expected with Kaysersberg, Dragon's Back and Burquem prominent. DRAGON'S BACK (9) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on April 13 over 1400m when he scored by 4 lengths. Looks well placed, so expect another big run. YUMEKA UTSUTSUKA (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth when starting at $6.20. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAYSERSBERG (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1300m. Manato Hida has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Sure to be competitive. BURQUEM (5) turned in another moderate effort last start over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. Include in all combinations.
