GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Off the inside draw Derma Beelzebub should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. SMART RAPTOR (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. T M RUN WAY (5) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. DERMA BEELZEBUB (1) could only manage fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of three starts. One of the contenders. EMI SAKIHOKORU (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
