GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Pirkar Kina to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BONAR TESORO (5) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 8 lengths win over 1400m at this track to make it two on the bounce. Isao Yamaguchi has been the pilot at his last two wins. Likely to feature. PIRKAR KINA (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 5 lengths back in second over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. BRIANZA (10) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. KAGAYAKI GOLD (8) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1300m at this track at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
