GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Tempo strong with Adarmalik, King Bullseyes and Scarlet Cross pushing forward. SATONO ORIENTAL (6) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey and can play a major role. KING BULLSEYES (10) rolled forward last time out and boxed on to finish a neck from the winner in second at this track over 1800m. Top chance in a nice race for him. WAKE UP PEOPLE (4) ran a strong second over 1500m at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 1800m when fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Coming back in trip suits so he shapes as one to consider. SCARLET CROSS (11) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ready to go one better.
