GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Fuseno Suisho leading the way. FUSENO SUISHO (1) was a winner at this trip and course when fresh last time out as the favourite and he gets another chance from barrier one, expected to go close. CORTADO (4) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. LA LA ANCESTRAL (2) did well to score by 3.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. SMART QUEEN (9) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last start over today's journey at this track. Another bold showing is expected.
