GOING: S

Race 5 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Pace should be on from the outset with View Crest, Extra Light and Success Beiju going hard, closely attended by Marie Claude. SUCCESS BEIJU (1) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by one length at today's track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. MARIE CLAUDE (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the corner as favourite over 1500m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. B B FABLE (5) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third after he was well back on straightening over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VIEW CREST (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1500m at Kawasaki. No surprise to see her in the mix.
