GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Kamino Kenshin, Kitten's Rumba and Time To Go. LORD DEFEAT (7) is in fine form having won last start over 1400m at this track, making it three wins from three appearances this preparation. Should be at peak for this longer journey. Rates a top winning chance again. OBJET D'ART (3) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on April 15 over 1400m when he got home by 4 lengths. Likely to play a big role. MEISHO KEIZEN (9) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the contenders. KAMINO KENSHIN (5) deserves respect on best figures.
