GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Real Line, Go Go Croix and Juno Vert will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Riko Hawk and Sanei Warrior. RIKO HAWK (11) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SANEI WARRIOR (7) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. GO GO CROIX (9) started favourite last time over 1400m at this track but could only manage third when she was handy all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Poses a significant threat. JUNO VERT (10) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Should be prominent from the outset. In the mix.
