GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

West Leader and Kibaru Star possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. WEST LEADER (8) found one better last start at this track over this distance. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Can play a major role. KEIRYU O (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1600m at this track. Right in contention. MEISHO TOWANI (14) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second two starts back then scored by 3 lengths as public elect last time out over 2000m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. BEAUTIFUL BELL (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1600m at this track. Drifted back on that occasion then stoked up impressively to score by 2 lengths. In form and will be running on hard again.
