GOING: GS

TAB COLORADO KING STAKES 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Genuine tempo with Navajo Nation, Royal Edition and Marauding Horde taking up forward positions. LET'S GO NOW (7) ran a fair race last time. She should love the rise to 2000m. If getting away to a clean start, she may be the one to beat. MARAUDING HORDE (2) is better than his last start run would suggest. He has won twice from three starts over this course and distance. On previous form, he should be fighting out the finish. HOTARUBI (1) is better than his last start as the jockey reported something to be amiss in the running. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should be fighting out the finish. ROYAL EDITION (6) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't fire last time over 1600m at this track, finishing sixth. Nicely placed to turn things around.
