GOING:

Race 7 1230m

Track:      

Smart Alive and Love Me Tequila possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. LOVE ME TEQUILA (2) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently when second over 1230m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Well placed and a key runner in this line-up. SMART ALIVE (1) held on well to finish third last time out over 1230m at this track after leading for much of the way. Sure to give a sight again. A SHIN OKIKURMI (5) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. A SHIN CONPA (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth over 1230m here. Nicely placed to make amends.
