GOING:

Race 11 1400m Track:
Plenty of early pressure from Riko Glock, Nadi Star and Puff Of Wind battling for the lead over Kiss Umai. NADI STAR (6) impressed last time with a 3-length win at this track over this journey. Has been in solid form this campaign with three wins to his name. Sure to run well. RIKO GLOCK (5) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1230m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. PUFF OF WIND (1) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1400m at this track. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Can feature. KISS UMAI (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed to play a major role.

Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on April 18 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Realize with 56kg at $5.30. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 12 at this track on March 21 over 1700m, 1.75 len behind Yukino Maria with 56kg at $4.10. Wasn’t too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.	1 YOSHIKI KAMOMIYA
