GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Queen Craft and Kurino Nina should lead from out-wide. TECHNO EXPRESS (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as public elect over this track and trip two weeks ago, getting home with ease. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. UKRAINE EYES (5) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. YASHIRO SMILEY (9) turned in a fine effort to score over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. KURINO NINA (12) did a great job to score over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. No reason she cannot salute again.
