GOING: S

Race 9 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Chicago Fountain to take charge ahead of Ski Thunder at a solid tempo. SKI THUNDER (6) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths when fresh from a spell. Fitter and further improvement is to come. KIRATTO (7) was prominent from the outset when third over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a solid record here over this journey and can figure in the finish. ARME MATE (3) finished sixth last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. A better showing is expected. SEI SEQUENCE (8) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing ninth over 1200m at this track. Fitter and not to be discounted.
