GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Smart Pirka, Inlet and Blaze Boy going forward ahead of Sirius Light and Hosumani En. KAI BRUNO (2) turned things around last start and scored by a head as public elect over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. BLAZE BOY (10) sat on the speed and battled on okay into third place last time out over 1300m at this track. Could be hard to catch today if he gets a soft lead. HOSUMANI EN (4) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a neck last start over 1400m at this track. Worth including. SIRIUS LIGHT (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
