GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Fast early tempo likely from Fuseno Suisho setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Lacus Gaudii. OMEGA MORNING (7) found the line in great style to score by half a length at the most recent appearance over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Finds the right race to make it two on the trot. WONDER GLEE (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a neck last time out. Should settle handy in the run. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LACUS GAUDII (3) was in contention on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. A SHIN NOCTURNE (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth here. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
