GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Smile Forest has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. RIKEA JAUNE (1) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing one length away in second over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. NANYO NORMAL (9) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SMILE FOREST (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. A SHIN NOCIW (4) spotted them a big start last time out and could only manage to finish tenth over 900m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Sure to be competitive.
