GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Pace strong with A Shin Rikyu and Fuku Hualien leading with Infini Wraith nearby. A SHIN RIKYU (9) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tricky draw to overcome but he can go on with it. SMART KANATHOS (5) resumed over 1400m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by a neck. Fitter for that last hit-out and is among the winning hopes again. INFINI WRAITH (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this circuit, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. KEY CLASSIC (7) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1400m at this venue. Has sound form here at this trip with six wins and 11 minor placings from 27 runs and rates a serious contender.
