GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Rich Banquet, Sakaben Queen and Kattara Kimasen rolling forward. CHAMPETRE (8) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. HIRONDELLE (9) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. TAKANO DREAM (11) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 5 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. NOBLE ZEPHYR (6) is back from a spell of eight months. Scored a good win at her final run last campaign at this track over 1200m. Worth plenty of thought.
