GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Saphir Ciel leading the way. JAZZ SMILE (3) was an effortless winner last time over 1200m at this track, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Record at this journey is strong with three wins from nine runs and is sure to go well. KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (7) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. RHEIN GALA (6) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Can go right on with it. BIG BAMBOO (9) finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to run well again.
