GOING:

Race 5 1860m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Radiant Horse, Ultra Kid and Davay Sucre leading the way. DAVAY SUCRE (8) was safely held in tougher grade two back then appreciated the easier grade last time when third over 1750m at this track. Looks well placed again here and expected to feature in the finish. RADIANT HORSE (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1400m at this track last start to make it three straight. Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. ULTRA KID (5) showed good early pace over 1750m at this track last time and kept going to score by half a length. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PUREA LEGEND (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1750m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
