GOING:

Race 4 800m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Kung Fu Dance taking charge. HIERBA BUENA (10) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KUNG FU DANCE (9) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. One of the top chances again. SHONAN LA JOIE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NOAH PHARAOH (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into eighth. Keep safe on best form.
