GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Off the low draw Jun Firenze should lead at a genuine tempo. JUN FIRENZE (3) is on a nine-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1500m at this track. Nicely drawn and expected to go well again. LAS BRISAS (6) has changed stables since finishing second over 2000m at Ohi 11 months ago. Good fresh performer with a win and one minor placing from four runs. Shapes as one to consider. HAKUSAN KRAKEN (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 12th at this track over 1400m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is in the mix. JEWEL PRINCE (9) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when ninth at this course and distance. Great chance to bounce back.
