GOING: G

Race 5 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

A solid tempo on the cards with Disruptor leading the way. SIENA WAVE (10) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds then pushed forward and led throughout to score a 2.5 lengths win over 800m at this track last time. Can go on with it. KURA PASSION (5) won three back and produced a good effort last time out when second at this track over 800m, beaten 0.8 lengths. The testing material. NEVER KNOWS (6) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 900m at Kawasaki. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. DISRUPTOR (9) last appeared when he finished fourth over 900m at Kawasaki on February 8. Keep safe.
