GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Master Key and Elepaio prominent. XCARET (10) went forward over 1200m at this track last time and held on for second. Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Among the leading chances. HIRONDELLE (11) settled well back from a good draw last time before getting home nicely to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Certain to be winding up strongly. KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (7) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KATTARA KIMASEN (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.75 lengths back in fourth over 1200m at this track. Among the chances.
