GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Kitasan Driver is expected to lead at a slick tempo. CORNIGLIA (1) went fast early and went on to score by 5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Multiple winner over this distance and worth following up. KITASAN DRIVER (5) a sequence of wins was broken last time out when he finished third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed to make amends. JET MOTION (11) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to go a couple better. GRAY SONIC (4) had been racing well before he was safely held last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit and deserves respect.
