GOING: S

Race 7 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting King Slayer to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. KING SLAYER (9) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1200m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. D MARIA (5) was quickly into stride over 1200m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 6 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. PRESTO OMEGA (6) is going well this campaign and found the line strongly latest when second at this track. Winning rider Daisho Yamamoto sticks. Certainly one to consider. LUCE BIANCA (7) produced another moderate effort last start when 47 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1500m at Urawa. Could improve at odds.
