GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Solid pace as Fruitful finds the front but it won't be a picnic. COPANO RAKURAKU (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths when well in the market. Is in solid form scoring two wins and two placings from 10 starts. Bold showing expected here. HOPE RISE (4) scored a good win on his final run last preparation at this track over 1400m. Honest record at this distance including three wins and to be respected. LORD WONDER (3) has solid form at this course with two wins and four placings from nine starts. Looks suited. KING KING KING (9) ran well for a 2 length victory at today's course and distance last time out. Should be camped just off the leaders and must be among the hopes.
