GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track: AW     True  

Many of these have the speed to be prominent so a genuine tempo is anticipated. PARMIGIANINO (8) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with a win over 1600m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Can run well again. GLORIOUS KING (3) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1600m. Expected be in the finish again over the same trip. YUME KAIDO (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Can measure up. AREMPA (7) settled towards the tail and then wound up strongly to finish second when resuming last start over 1800m at this track. Is a winner at this circuit and cannot be underestimated.
