GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Sound Kingdom and Yamano Warrior should lock horns early at a strong tempo. LIVE CRACKER (8) is poised to win after placing at his last four outings, most recently when second over 1200m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. YAMANO WARRIOR (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1200m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with eight wins and four minor placings from 18 runs. Big chance once again. KEN MAXIM (3) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over today's journey at this track. Tough to stop again. SOUND KINGDOM (6) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance five months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
