GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Plenty of speed from Charged Up and Ancona. ANCONA (5) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Going well and is one of the leading chances. AUGENBLICK (9) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Has the early speed to cross from out wide and he should be in the finish. CHARGED UP (10) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1400m here after win at this track at the previous outing. Great chance to atone. ONE LEON (3) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when eighth at Kokura. Can feature back at this level.
