GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Four Side Nine and Kar Smoky leading the way. FOUR SIDE NINE (3) returns from a break of 11 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1600m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. LORD LAZURITE (9) showed good early speed from the inside draw when resuming last start before finishing second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. KAR SMOKY (10) was sent out at $18.90 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at this track. Form here at this trip reads five wins from eight starts and is certainly one to consider. ABAGNALE (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
