GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Rhein Garuda should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. FEB KIRANAH (1) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 3 lengths over this trip. Key chance in form and should go close again. OICHO (7) finished fourth last time out over 900m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Leading contender. RHEIN GARUDA (5) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 900m at this track. Strong prospects. SARASA ONE (2) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1300m here. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
