GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Urban King to take charge ahead of Smart Kanathos at a strong tempo. URBAN KING (5) was in commission last time out and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Has a good association with Sakito Yamamoto with a run of three top-three results. Bold showing expected. WAKAGIMI (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. One of the key runners. YOSSHI STAGE (7) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and among the chances. MISS TREVI NO (3) was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see her in the mix.
