GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Pace looks to be genuine with Yamori Atsumare and Sunrise Promise matching motors in advance of Epic Cycle and Whittingham. SUNRISE PROMISE (7) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten a neck. Well placed and can take this out. EPIC CYCLE (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1400m. Sure to run well. NEUE MUSIK (6) ran on well to get up for third at big odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1500m. Tomomori Syotaro stays aboard. Should be involved in the finish. BEAR SHOT (8) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.

Racing well recently. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track on March 26 over 1400m, 2 len behind Fleche Noir with 55kg at $12.30. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on March 12 over 1500m, 2 len behind Lau Niu with 55kg at $16.90. The inside gate is a real bonus.
