GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with King Prince leading from Knock On Wood and Schwarz Naga. SCHWARZ NAGA (3) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Key runner. KING PRINCE (12) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Anticipating a better run this time. KNOCK ON WOOD (11) was below his best last time, finishing ninth over 1400m at this track. Look for an improved run here. MINATONO YOKO (8) performed above expectations last time over 1300m at this track, getting the prize by 1.5 lengths. In the mix again.
