GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Tokai Kleos to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. TOKAI KLEOS (10) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight when first-up from a break last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Sure to go well. NIFE DEBIRU (2) was prominent at the corner but didn't fire over 1600m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Has the class to find the winners' list. HIDENO BLUE SKY (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1300m contest at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. CALLING ME (4) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1300m. Right one can turn up today.

Winning prospects.
