GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Kaminari Oyaji heading them off. NAMURA HERACLES (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2 lengths at this track over 1300m. One of the top chances again. MATTINA (2) really dug deep to get the prize by half a length three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. One of the major players. KAMINARI OYAJI (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MORPHEUS (3) finished 10 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 1300m at this track. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
