GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Smile Kei has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (3) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1200m. Boasts six wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. SMILE KEI (10) is racing well and has registered six minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1200m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. SHOSAN REX (1) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the corner to score by a head over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. WING WIND (9) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth last time over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
1 44x81 SHOSAN REX

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 13 at this track on April 15 over 1200m, 8 len behind Hirondelle with 56kg at $5.20. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track April 30 over 1200m defeating The Crown carrying 56kg at $9.50. Profiles nicely. Top chance.
