GOING:

Race 9 920m

Track:      

Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Keika, Shalom and Katsugekiumamusubi. KEIKA (7) is racing well this preparation, including a last-start win over 920m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Form at this track is solid. Will prove tough to beat. ELYSIA (4) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1500m contest at this track nine days ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SHALOM (5) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Deserves another chance. LUGNAQUILLIA (2) did well last start but found one better over 920m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Has ability and is strong top-three hope.
