GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Fez Kazuma and Metus. JUN ASAHI SORA (10) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. EXCELLEN ARTHUR (11) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Likely to feature. WEATHERCOCK (1) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Better than the last suggests. Worth following. METUS (12) is ready to break through after collecting his 5th minor placing in a row last time over 1750m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle.
