GOING:

Race 7 850m

Track:      

Anticipate Kura Saber, Yakanhiko and Curren Excalibur to set a strong tempo. KURA SABER (8) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by a head at today's track and trip last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. GO PLATINUM (9) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. BELLUM FELIX (4) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 850m at this track. Has a win and three placings from four starts at this track and trip. Expected to be there at the business end. YAKANHIKO (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 850m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
