GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Al Asha and Cosmo Lullaby to take up the running at a strong tempo. LEAD BLOW (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track last time. Top chance. FUKU BELLE E (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Can find the winner's circle. NIGHTFALL SUN (8) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1500m, beaten one length. Could be hard to beat. AL ASHA (10) faded late last time over 1500m at this track after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fourth. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
