GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead between Agrume, Lot Clover and Show Yushi in advance of Smoke Water and G Schocker. SHOW YUSHI (3) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a head last time out over 1300m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. ANTONIO HIROKI (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $3.20. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LOT CLOVER (2) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by a neck over today's journey at this track on March 30. Must be included. ASTRAIOS (11) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
