GOING:

Race 7 1870m

Track:      

Kiichi Autumn and Sonic can pave the way. KIICHI AUTUMN (3) built on a nice second two starts back with success as public elect over 1870m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Worth serious consideration. SONIC (1) finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in eight starts, including four wins and four placings. Sure to be there at the business end. ECORO BLADE (2) has been in the placings at both runs this prep, most recently a closing third over 1700m at this track. Worth including. A SHIN LICHT (4) missed the placings last start when sixth over 1700m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
