GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Master Key and Nansei Time leading the way. MASTER KEY (3) continued the solid form last start, finishing 1.3 lengths back in second at this track over today's trip. Top chance once again. SPLENDENTE (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KITANO RYAN (13) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Keita Nishi gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. No reason he cannot salute again. SCHON PRIMA (10) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1200m at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
