GOING:

Race 6 1800m

Track: HEAVY      

The speedy trio Two Lury, Kaga Cappuccino and Tres Bel Or can set the pace from the outset. TRES BEL OR (8) finished second over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 4. Comes here with definite claims. AMALFI (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1750m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Top chance again. KENTUCKY GRAY (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 1800m at this track, beaten one length. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. FUKU FANTASY (12) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 900m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.
