GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace likely from Sakurahime, Combat Taurus and Sunset Color battling for the lead from Wilson Way. SUNSET COLOR (5) is in a purple patch of form with her third straight win coming last time out over 1400m at this track. That saw her unbeaten at this venue. Looks suited by the longer journey and can get the job done again. WILSON WAY (6) will find this easier than last start when he tackled a richer race. That effort came on the back of a win two back at this track. Worth including in this easier race. BALL THE MAHONEY (10) improved last time out to score by one length after being in the firing line on the corner. Could go back-to-back. SAKURAHIME (7) has a decent record here including a win three back. Can figure in the finish.
