GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Daisen Storm has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. A SHIN RHEA (1) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 5 over 1600m when she got home by half a length. Nicely placed to get the job done again. DAISEN STORM (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should be prominent from the low draw. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. IINE IINE IINE (6) ran well below his best last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at $2. Form here at this journey is very good with three wins from six runs. Should be competitive. ROCKY BRAVE (2) finished third last time over 1700m at Nagoya, beaten half a length. This is an easier assignment and can find winning form.
