GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Professional to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. RIKO CRUSADER (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1500m after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. PROFESSIONAL (3) ran below expectations last time here, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $5.50. Well placed and there is no reason why she cannot find winning ways. KAI BRUNO (1) improved last start to finish third over 1500m at this course. Likely improver with strong prospects. KAPALILUA (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 11th over 1500m at this venue after she gave away a big start. Good enough on her day and may earn some minor money.
