GOING:

Race 7 820m

Track:      

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. SMART MACE (6) comes here off a break of five months. Scored over 820m at this track to launch the last campaign. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from seven starts and comes here with definite claims. IZU JO DREAM (3) raced below his best last time when seventh over 820m here, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well placed here and there is no reason why he cannot find winning ways. LUX PARADIS (4) drifted back when resuming last start over 820m at this circuit and failed to threaten, beaten 16 lengths into 11th. One of the main contenders on best form. SOOT (2) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 1.3 lengths, over 820m at this venue. Place conveyance.
