GOING: G

Race 9 900m

Track: GOOD      

Koini Ochite should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. KOINI OCHITE (6) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 900m at this track. Rates highly and can atone. PAINA (5) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 900m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SANEI JIRO (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Finds a more suitable contest and can run another big race. MO MO BLACK (2) next.
