GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with King Prince taking charge. KING PRINCE (8) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BROWN KINGS (6) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. RED LEGGERA (2) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Boasts four wins here. Shota Muramatsu who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. JUNE KNUCKLE (7) was beaten 1.1 lengths into fifth in a 1300m contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in the frame.
