GOING: G

Race 12 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Full Of Praise. DANCING RASCAL (1) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by half a length over 1200m at this track. Will be tough to rein in again. RIKEA SHIRANUI (16) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $6.10. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FULL OF PRAISE (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1200m after being prominent from the outset. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. YAMANIN FACIO (11) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
