GOING: G

Race 4 1600m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo anticipated with Fortunate and Yuyu Starry ahead of June Butterfly and Jolly Harmony. SENJU (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.4 lengths from the winner at the end of 2000m. Has the class to figure prominently. TAU SUAN (8) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by a nose at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. No reason he cannot salute again. SMART BIANCA (11) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. JUNE BUTTERFLY (2) finished third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
