GOING:

Race 8 1580m

Track:      

Luxe Warrior to take up the running with Blue Tice and Jewel Prince close at hand. ECORO RAIJIN (4) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by 6 lengths over 1600m at this track. Hard to beat based on that last run. LUXE WARRIOR (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. AILES MINERVA (1) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing third last time over 1580m here. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and three placings from seven tries. One of the main contenders. ANTENNA LAST (2) was sixth over 1580m at this track two weeks ago. Well placed to make amends.
