GOING: S

Race 4 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo from Espiegle leading Kuro Chadal. ESPIEGLE (8) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he finished midfield. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. N K SAIBO (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. J K TIARA (3) made progress last start to finish second over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ENRICH THE HEART (5) turned in a modest performance when eighth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on March 12 over 1600m, 4 len behind Taisetsu Reve carrying 55kg at $18. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at this track on February 19 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Ascot Miyagi with 56kg at $104.70. Draws the inside and should take beating.
