GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting a strong gallop with Ivy Samurayo and Toa Kalakaua taking up the running over Cosmo Basileus. IVY SAMURAYO (10) is back from a spell of four months. Put together three wins prior to the break, the latest at this track over 1650m. Has a great record at this journey with four wins from five starts and should be hard to stop. TOA KALAKAUA (5) wasn't warm in the market last time but ran above expectations and won over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. JAGUAR BAROWS (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time at this track when resuming from a spell. Well placed and can be right there at the finish. BEST LEON (7) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 1650m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
