GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Princess Dia. ARDE YANO (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 1300m at this track. Likely to measure up. EXCEL STATE (7) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 1300m at this track when he was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Sure to be about the money. HUSTLE ANIKI (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. JOSHO SAKURA (8) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing sixth over 1300m at this track most recently. Well placed and should be in the mix.
