GOING:

Race 9 1750m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Keiai Antares, All Steal and Cosmo Basileus matching motors ahead of Kissaki. KEIAI ANTARES (4) continues to race well, adding to a string of wins by scoring two back at this track before finishing 2.5 lengths away in second last time over 1400m at this track. Won the only time he raced over this longer distance here. Manato Hida who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Top chance. COSMO BASILEUS (5) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings since a win here. Has good early pace. On his best form he is capable of a big performance. HAKUAI ASSIST (6) proved too strong last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Boasts four wins here. Can measure up again. GET THE FAME (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1860m at this track. Likely to be about the mark again.
