GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Good pace with Sakki Mitsugu, Presto Arthur and Sharp Mustang matching motors. SHARP MUSTANG (7) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 1600m at this track on December 3. The first-up credentials are sound so he looks the one to beat. THREE KINGS (6) met with solid support last start over 2000m at this track when sixth. Well-placed to make amends. PRESTO ARTHUR (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over 1600m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. IL VENTO (4) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 2000m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
