GOING:

Race 8 1230m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Rikea Vert may lead the way over Eiyu Max. RIKEA VERT (7) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1230m at this track last start to make it three straight. Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. EIYU MAX (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is all set to build on that latest effort. T K ANGERS (2) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Has a good winning record here at this journey with four successes from 11 starts. One of the main contenders. ROCK A BALLAD (3) watch for market value.
