GOING:

Race 8 1000m

Track:      

Five M and Ten Arion should set a strong clip. CRAFT KING (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1000m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. AFRICAN LILY (8) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1000m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. OTHELLO (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1000m at this track. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. FIVE M (1) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish seventh over 1000m at this track. In the mix.
