GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Te Stesso taking up the running ahead of Sammaru Chara and Built In A Day. TE STESSO (3) went forward last start over 1300m at this track and held on well for second. Form hard to fault and is a major player. SAMMARU CHARA (7) has raced five times here and has never missed the frame. Back to earth last time out when third over 1300m at this track after a string of wins. Very tough to beat. SURPRISE EVENT (6) returned to the winners' circle after a while in the wilderness last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by one length. Comes here with definite claims. MALACCA (4) scored two starts ago at Kanazawa then settled well back against stiffer opposition last time, finishing 12th over 1870m at Sonoda. Has claims on best figures.
