GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. THUNDER PEKO (8) started at $6.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1400m. Ideally placed and can play a major role. NO KA PUA (1) is still a maiden after four runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MOANA GRACE (6) was always well out of her ground when sixth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time. KURINO JITTERBUG (3) was below her best last time when seventh over 800m at this track. Looks well placed and worth another chance.
