GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Takara Arthur has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TAKARA ARTHUR (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 7 lengths on his rivals. This is his optimum trip with two wins from four starts and looks a top chance again. EPIC HERO (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIBELLULE (5) better effort last time when third over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish. SANONO BEACH (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m here. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
