GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Best Of King should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. SAKURA VIGUEUR (7) started at $7.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BEST OF KING (1) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PATROL RUN (5) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Definite top-three chance. ARATAMA OSO (6) best of the rest.
